Can anyone identify my exotic guest? Its body was about two inches long, not counting the antennae and legs.

Succulent and Guest: FOTD Oct 6, 2023
This fellow greeted me when I arrived home today. Actually climbed onto my foot and partway up my leg before I shook him off gently. Then he abandoned me for a trip up the succulent and therefore into this FOTD blog!!! Does anyone know what this exotic fellow is? Absolutely gorgeous but I’ve never seen one before. I’ll do another blog with just him (or her) if the other photos turned out. Haven’t looked at them yet. His body was probably about 2 inches long, not counting his antennae or legs.

Which Way to Go?
Obviously, this insect crossing my keyboard is confused and wondering where to go. Note the key he has just stepped up on.

Does Anyone Know What This Bug Is?
Does Anyone Know What This Bug Is?
It is about an inch long and runs very fast. I took 2 dozen pictures of it and this was the only one that wasn’t blurred! I’ve never seen one before. Looks like it should have wings, but it doesn’t. The answer? It is called a Cow Killer Ant or a Velvet Ant but it is actually a variety of wasp whose female is wingless. It is called a Cow killer Ant because of the saying that its sting is so painful that it could kill a cow!
