Timulla sp.
This is a species of Timulla, rather than Dasymutilla. The eyes are ovate, the mesosoma/thorax is narrowed medially and the 1st and 2nd abdominal segments have no constriction between them.

Moved from Dasymutilla.

Too bad these are so hard to get to species without putting them under a microscope.
