What is a tarantula hawk? I dont think we have those here. They sound
vicious.

--I have two types of bumblebees in my Albuquerque garden, and they were
out til this week when the temperature dropped and the wind returned with a
vengeance. One is the big black and yellow furry variety and the new
arrival last year is light brown with black stripes on the abdomen. Both
types are very abundant, but the latter is aggressive. Only the big furry
bumblebee seems to be interested in my iris
I don't use pesticides so I have a large population of bumblebees, honey
bees, meat bees (the little tiny bees?), wasps, tarantula hawks, and yellow
jackets pollinating everything. The bees seem to be on the increase here
anyway.
