Any chance that it can be IDed to species? I have a couple of shots but they don't show a lot more.
It looks like the prey is an Augochlorini bee.

Diogmites
In PA there are likely only three species. D discolor, basalis and the northward creeping neoternatus. This is likely the far more common neo.
