    I am afraid this is not Triscolia ardens. I am in the middle of ID investigation of a similar species captured in Greece, which I am going to upload shortly. The abdomen coloration of T.ardens is opposite - the first part is black, and the rare half is orange. Further it has bluish wings, but this one brownish. This is most probably Ammophilia sp., but still cannot identify further. Having in mind that this one is captured in America, most probably they are different species. The investigation is going on.

    This is some kind of thread-waisted wasp (Sphecidae). Ammophila spp. have a much thiner abdomen. This is either Sphex sp. or Podalonia sp. Posted 10 years ago
