What the **** is this devil bug?
 

It’s on my porch. So naturally my wife decided to catch it.

What the **** is it?

Megarhyssa macrurus?

Is that Latin for devil bug?

It's a species of large ichneumon wasp

It looks like a wasp had a one nighter with a flying ant? In any event, kill it with fire. :eek:

Does that giant thing on its ass sting?

G2 pen. Gel. 0.7mm tip

Maybe it can play defense?

I believe it's used for egg laying, but I wouldn't touch it to be safe lol

It looks like a ligma.

LOL. Goddamn you. You made this thread far less funny than it could have been by dropping actual knowledge. :D

Wise guess, sir. I’ve been known to buy .5mm but this particular model is a .7mm. Excellent work.

I like it’s chances. I’m definitely not going to lay a block on it.

Megarhyssa macrurus (common name giant ichneumon wasp)

It is, it's harmless, just scary looking.
