lol. This spider wasp landed on the track up ahead, but then made a total bee line towards me. I kept stepping backwards and it kept coming. Presume it was chasing something I couldn't see. I was actually afraid at one stage of being bitten, even though I'm pretty sure a spider wasp doesn't bite people! It was such unusual behaviour.
