    I think you should warn people that hanging around dead standing trees can cause nightmares. The ovipositor on this parasitoid wasp (Megarhyssa atrata I believe?) appeared long enough to go in through my ear and lay eggs in my eyeball, so roughly 5" or so, maybe longer. I do wish I had a photo to show the scale, but it was hard enough operating a camera as it was with a finger jammed in each of ear for protection. I know it won't lay eggs in my eyeball, but once I conjured up the image it would't go away. They don't like human eyeballs. I'm sure of that... I think.
