      I had identified this species as Delta pyriforme, why did you remove the ID?
      What you are writing here is the order and family, not a species. I don't agree with this anyway - the genus Delta is either in the Vespidae or in the Eumenidae family, but not in Sphecidae.

          OK, maybe I should change the family, but that will not change the species. Posted 9 years ago
