Back Off Lady!

I'd wanted to get a close up of a cicada killer for a couple of years but every one I saw was in constant motion, never landing. I was thrilled to find 2 under a bridge that were crawling around. One on the bridge cement & the other on the creek bed gravel. Enlarged the photos & discovered I might have pissed off the one on the concrete.
