My 3 year old said, "It's a bug."

Please correct your child and let him/her know that technically its a "Furry bug"..

He has been corrected and sent to bed without dinner.

It's not a bug, it's a picture of a bu... err, furry bug.

probably a Velvet ant (Dasymutilla)--actually a wasp...i think

From the bug people -

Velvet Ants are really a flightless female wasp that packs a wallop of a sting.

Looked like a winter BEE to me that fur coat for the cold desert winter. something has to pollonate those pretty flowers we see come spring and summer time

Whatever it is... That there is a great picture Chum... amazed how you got that focal plane perfect... couldn't have got that shot any other way but right there!

nice bug shot
