Bembicine - Bicyrtes

Bembicine - Bicyrtes
Elysburg, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, USA
June 25, 2008
Thought this was a mason or potter wasp but couldn't seem to find a match among the images. They are quite abundant and appear to favor these daisies or dogbane.

Yes - Bicyrtes sp. (Bembicini, Crabronidae)
That's why no match was found among Vespid wasps.
