What a cool-looking insect and a wonderful shot. I did a little search and it looks like “your” insect might be a sand wasp in the genus Bembix. LikeLiked by 1 person September 9, 2020 at 2:34 pm Reply
Thanks Mike. It does appear to be in the Bembix genus. It was a very cooperative wasp to photograph as it let us give it a long and close look. Thanks again for the information on the genus. Wishing you a great week. LikeLike September 9, 2020 at 10:00 pm Reply
