Maybe a tarantula hawk? Are you in the Southwest?

Are you sure, it is just ONE bug? Looks like they are trying to make more bugs, but i can't get a clear visual!
It has thick orange back legs, those are the moving bits in the video.
Ahh, i keep looking, stopping, looking playing, but i can't make it out clearly. You should have asked it to stand still for a moment!
I tried to snap a pic as well, im not sure if its helpful though!
Well, i haven't the faintest idea

Thanks!
np. Hope they're not in your garden if you're growing any types of squash or pumpkins.
We're gonna take a look at the squash plants first thing tomorrow morning.
