This year's theme insect is the big and bold tarantula hawk, Pepsis formosa.
Known for its sting, it paralyzes and lays its eggs on tarantulas, providing a large meal for its developing offspring.
​It's easily recognized by its jet black body, bright orange wings, and often curled antennae.
They can be surprisingly large and are often seen sipping nectar from flowers all over Tucson.
