Crioscolia flammicoma male - Crioscolia flammicoma -  Borrego Springs, San Diego County, California, USA
October 12, 2008
Size: 16-17 mm
This beautiful wasp was sleeping atop Jackass Clover at the Borrego Sink, so I was able to photograph its wing venation and use the CA Scoliid key to identify it. Earlier I submitted a scoliid for ID, Photo #227026, Which I now think is probably the male of this species. It was found at the same place on Jackass Clover in October, but five years earlier!

Unknown wasp - Campsomeris Cass County, Texas, USA
Size: 1"
I am not sure what species this wasp belongs to. It had a very large scoop/tube shaped feeding appendage which I have never seen before. Any assistance with an ID would be appreciated.

Looked through many pages of wasps and hornets, but to no avail. Can someone please narrow this down, or better, ID?
