Tarantula Hawk Wasp (Pepsis sp.)
Author's comments:
Una situación realmente inusual. El insecto se avalanzó desde el aire sobre la cola de la Lagartija Austral (Liolaemus darwinii), al percibir movimento. Realmente no sé si pensaría en parasitarla o no. El reptil se quedó quieto y después de un tiempo, el insecto se alejó.
