Mutant mosquito? lol

Actually reminds me of the Strider from Henson's The Dark Crystal.

Its about the size of a tennis ball over all and moves the tail like a scorpion.

The size of a tennis ball?  

Dang.. I think I'd have to shoot it...   Or try one of those Electronic Fly Swatter Tennis Racket thingies from Harbor Freight...

I have seen them before but not that large. Very cool find. I spend too much time on this website.

Saw my first one while doing survey work at LBL 10yrs ago. Body was iridescent midnight blue with yellow accents. Looked like a wasp, but flew more like a bee. Smacked it with a joe blade, couldn't kill it quick enough. Thing seriously creeped me out.

I think I'd be more worried about the thing with the glowing eyes to the right...

That's the same thing I thought!

Looks like time for a can of carb cleaner and a Zippo!
