Maybe Cerceris sp.? Or something else in the subfamily Philanthinae? Bees are so tough! Posted 4 years ago

    I would very much agree - they both look like Cerceris sp. - now how to tell them apart... looks like color (white vs yellow) may not be a factor. Taking a look through my images, it looks like I have photos of another individual with a different stripe pattern too.... Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

      I recently tried to identify a Cerceris on one of my older unidentified photos, and failed. Very sorry, wish I could help. Posted 4 years ago

        I just ordered a book by a local entomologist!

        It supposedly has very detailed distribution information. We'll see. I'm supposed to get it on Monday. Posted 4 years ago
