Thread-waisted Wasp - Ammophila - female

Thread-waisted Wasp - Ammophila - Female
Desert Hot Springs, Riverside County, California, USA
March 31, 2008
She found a large pebble and took it all the way into the tunnel. That tunnel must be pretty deep to fit that caterpillar and this wasp without me being able to see them.
