Ichneumon Wasp (Trogus pennator, perhaps) - Trogus
Langhorne - Playwicki Farm Park, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA

Size: ~2 inches
Though this picture is not very clear (shot with 70-300mm lens @300mm) I think the distinctive colors may allow for identification.

Moved from Trogus pennator.

The scutellum looks more elevated and conical, so this may instead be T. vulpinus. Regrettably, coloration isn't very reliable as we have 3 species in our area that can have identical coloration (and there's at least a fourth in Mexico).
