I saw what I believe is a small tarantula hawk dragging away an incapacitated grasshopper. It flew off of the grasshopper when I approached too closely.

In mating hold just outside the Chemical Sciences building. Ran to underneath the trash bins (just behind the picnic table) after being disturbed. I assume they will remain hidden under the safety of the bins. I checked back on them at 4:00 pm and they were copulating under the trash bins but I couldn’t get a picture because they were too far back.
