Time to update your map of where this is found. I woke up this morning to find something that looked just like this in my kitchen... about 2.5 inches long and not happy.

Not sure...

Not sure what would get that big but some of the paper wasps might appear pretty big in you kitchen. Nomada imbricata is comparatively small, under a half inch.
