Hi folks, thanks for your comments. This was one of those special moments. Had just bent down to check out the ring of larvae when, quick as a flash, the adult appeared taking up the protective posture. Very impressed with the courage and protective display.

Not many solitary insects do parental care of larvae. Nice find!
