WaspC - Isodontia
Adams County, Pennsylvania, USA
July 1, 2008
The first wasp I have seen with mandibles(?) like this. Looks to be a Prionyx, Possibly atratus ? Am I on the right track?

Actually...
it reminds me more of Isodontia, but you'll want to compare images in the guide or wait for someone with more expertise in Sphecids.

Hmmm....
I see what you mean, Nick. I tried comparing photos of the Isodonitia but couldn't decide. Mexicana appears to be good candidate.

Maybe someone will jump in here and help out.

Thanks, Nick.
