black wasp with large baby blue eyes
I do wish this was a better photo.... but this guy was skittish and disappeared. I just cannot resist those crazy blue eyes though.
7 species in the terminatus group, which I believe are blue eyed.
Possibly Tachysphex similis - most in the group have some red, but not sure if similis is the only all black one.

Dryudella caerulea is a species of wasp in the family Crabronidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
