Big highlight was getting some shots of this species as it was previously unrecorded in the county. I had seen it out here before but was unable to get any shots last time and it...had been nagging me.

Elizabeth and I ended the day at the magnificent Acton Nature Center -- this is such a great place. If you haven't been, you should go. :)
I saved Rachel's life from this spider wasp. I'm sure she was very impressed.
