Small black wasp with yellow in the center part of antenna. Measures 1 and 1/2 inch long and w/legs extended about 1 and 7/8 inches. Very small for a Tarantula Hawk, but looks like one.
Viscous spikes on the back of the thorax. I could not see a 'stinger' at the end of the tail.
Was wounded or at the end of it's life cycle - didn't want to fly away.
