    Without looking at the other replies, I would guess that is "Bicyrtes quadrifasciatus". Either that or a cicada killer wasp.

    Education is extremely important.

        But since 89th said it's about 3 inches long Mik might be correct.

        You guys would be more familiar with things that length than I would ........

            Thanks @Mik and @Larry. Really helpful! At first I thought Larry nailed it (where’s the pie?) but the 3 stripes makes me think it’s the cicada killer. Either way, thanks!

                  Mighty presumptuous of you there, Klaus. How do we know that "bee" should not be capitalized?

                  The Germans do it right - just capitalize all Nouns. Problem solved.

                    BeeLM.

                    Truth to be told, they matter more than BLM. The humans only pollinate other humans and we can't eat them. Well, we don't, anyway. Kill off enough bees and we might.

                      Yes, but in German nouns have a gender, and as you can imagine that opens up a whole new can of worms for the "woke" language police because they can't understand that linguistic gender is something completely different from biological or social gender; it merely happens to share the name "gender".

                          @George-K Take the innocuous German word for student: Student.

                          It's "der Student". Male gender. Hence it has become unacceptable to address mixed groups of students as "Studenten".

                          You have to choose between

                          • "Studentinnen und Studenten" (but it's also not good because it includes only female and male gender"
                          • "Studierende" (which is the most common variant but it's rather silly because it's the continuous form of studying: a person who studies right now)
                          • "StudentIn" - this used to fashionable common 10 years ago by student groups
                          • "Student*in"
                          • "StudX"

                            I always thought that Das Madchen was primarily created to confuse English schoolboys. Only now do I realise there's a far more insidious reason.

                                    More or less. But it's actually a more universal thing.

                                          😁 C'mon. "Kïll Cheerleadër" is hilarious. And they get bonus points for being a punk-metal band and Canadian at the same time.
