Thanks, David--yes! they do look the same!

My sister warned me that these spread like crazy--si I have to assume
they spreas more than our RC here.
That one picture in the "Images" link-- of a whole hillside covered in these
is awesome...

Will let my sister know the name--but I know she won't care.

SO???? Do I dare grow out a couple? Anyone want a bit of seed for these?

Now--David--can you ID this wasp for me...It (they) seem to be living in my lilac bush.
They tend to hang on to the stems of the shrub. They are big and fatter than any other
Wasp I have seen. They almost look like elongated bees--but they do have the pinched waist.

One bit me yesterday--and my whole upper arm is puffy and has a very painful itch.
It was hard to sleep last night. It really hurt--still does...
The hardened bite site is about the size of my palm, it is still so hot! I am icing it and
took some Benadryl. Amazing--what a large area a bite can produce!. My arm is swollen from
the elbow to almost my arm pit. It itches so badly I could just dig a hole in my arm.
Practicing self-control....

I was brave enough to try to get some pictures--using macro on zoom.
My camera is pretty crappy when it comes to macro.
Some came out OK. Please take a look and tell me what it is. Plus some info.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures. Macro and zoom--not so easy.

Thanks-Gita..Ouch....Ouch....Scratch,,,ice on arm....drink in other hand....
