Had a heated debate over supper with my 7 & 9 year old on which insect in Texas was the coolest.
Daughter went with ladybug, which was pretty spot on for her. (zing)
Son went with Praying Mantis... which was probably my favorite for most of my life.
Now I am in camp Tarantula Hawk. The first one I saw I thought it was some type of Hummingbird. Then I read they have one of the most painful stings in the world.
Giant flying wasp that hunts tarantulas with the most powerful sting of an insect in North America beats Praying Mantis every time, I told my 7 year old. He still disagreed with me.
I figured I'd put the question to the OB: What is your favorite Texas insect? Also, is the Tarantula Hawk cooler than a Praying Mantis?
