WASP OR MOTH!? 🐝🤯

One of the most incredible mimics in the world, this Tiger Moth (Orcynia calcarata) looks so much like a wasp I was almost nervous holding it! 😳

There are so many tiger moths mimicking wasps in the Amazon it’s crazy! 😯🌳
How amazing is nature! 💛🖤

TARANTULA HAWK WASP!! 🤯😱

The world's most PAINFUL insect sting belongs to this crazy wasp! Paralysing the biggest spiders in the world, they mean business! 🕷️🐝

This wasp was very relaxed in Gwen's professional bug touching hands & I was NOT even close to game enough to try! 😳
