Giant fly/bee/hornet found in Mexican Jungle
 

Here's a not so little guy that I found while taking some palm pics in a jungle in Nayarit MX. He had some seriously huge fang, and wouldn't want to meet even a couple of them, much less a swarm. I wear large gloves, so my hands should give some scale to the size of the little bugger.

He's giving the evil eye in this shot.

Here shows a little more shine that he's got. I've always liked weird bugs!

Nasty. Looks like some type of wasp/fly bug.;)

I believe that is a Carpenter Bee.

Here is another for comparison.

Thanks Momoese,
I guess they don't use those bug chopers for eating others, just wood.
