what bug is this?
debs,
I think your large bug is the Giant Wood Wasp or Horntail (Urocerus gigas): http://www.kendall-bioresearch.co.uk/general3.htm
We have a page for it in BugFiles, with no images so far: http://davesgarden.com/bf/go/2716/
Your pictures are not very clear, but perhaps you could add your first image to our page to illustrate the species.
This forum is not the right place to ask for identifications, it is intended for problems with adding data to BugFiles. If you have further identifications, post them to our Bug and Insect Identification Discussion Forum: http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/bugid/all/
