That is a long tailed giant ichneumon wasp. It searches for larvae in the trees and then they bore their stinger/ovipositor into the trunk and the larva to lay their eggs in them and parasitize the larva.

...

It’s a praying mantis

what is that

Stop saying WOW!! Use your words. Don’t you have a better vocabulary??? Yes, it was amazing.

I can’t say that I’ve actually seen this before. I’m inclined to believe that it’s something I wouldn’t forget. God is truly magnificent in ALL His ways!

I think he is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!

very cool

Thank you so much for sharing . I live in an area where we still have lots of trees and foliage. I love days like this when I find things I haven't seen before. Love even seeing the things I've seen before. your post, this insect is new to me. Have never seen it. Again, thank you so much for sharing.

I'm told that they don't sting people.

I never seen anything like this 😲

Where did you see this? Please?

RUN

It's obviously depositing eggs in that tree!

AI sucks. it'll destroy all man kind

That's exactly what they do.

What the heck is that?

Ichneumon (not correct spelling) they lay eggs in insect holes. Kills the bad insect eggs, if I remember correctly. They’re a good insect.

its a drone 😆

maybe a defensive move ? idk

Strange. wow

Looks like it was a camara in that!

What state/city did you see this in !

some kind of wasp?

Leave it alone it probably wants to fly away scared and at the same time his business that’s crazy”

Do you 🤔 you could stop saying WOW....WOW.....WOW????? OMG

Yuck

The species is probably right, but I think it has been invaded by a horse hair worm and it is working it's way out splitting the abdomen open on the bottom all the way up. zit will eventually leave the host and kill the insect.
