This lovely little creature is a wasp. It is often mistaken for a Queen ant. They are non-aggressive unless attacked or stepped on. The nickname cow killer is from the tremendous pain that is felt by the person who steps on it with barefeet. Of course, I knew none of this as I let it crawl all over my hands while trying to get a good shot. This was taken with a 60mm macro in Central Kentucky along the Cumberland River.
