This little visitor settled on the window of my study. I took this pic from inside the room. Canon G11
I found this, what I thought was a digger wasp hanging about a wall in my garden. However, I have since been corrected by jel 1969 and bleu.geo with two different suggestions.. so I'll leave it as `Wasp' just now :) Tthank you for help with ID :)
From yesterdays rixton shoot :)

Calosoma scrutator. Apparently hunts caterpillars. This is one of the more colorful N. American beetles. It was moving pretty fast and I wanted to get a shot of the head and thorax, hence the bad angle.

This guy is alive, in fact it is flying around me as I type trying to land and to drink some blood. The right wing is OK, the insect is just comfortable sitting in such a way. Shot handheld using a flash.
