Cow Killer, Velvet Ant

An ominous looking insect that is rumored to be able to inflict a sting so powerful, it can kill a cow. Bright red and deep black with thick furlike covering, it's actually a beautiful but dangerous wingless wasp. About the size of a regular sized hornet, they are very fast runners and rarely hold still enough to get a good photo.

Light Entities

This is one of many amazing photos I've taken of "Orbs" around our property. Some are very vivid and some are faint. All are very interesting and beautiful to examine and look at. I've photographed "Orbs" of every color and size. There is a beautiful peach colored Orb (on right) that shows up constantly. When it seems agitated, it vibrates.
