Great Golden Digger Wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus

Great Golden Digger Wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus
Daphne, Baldwin County, Alabama, USA
August 21, 2008
I'm reasonably sure that I have finally captured a Great Gold Digger Wasp (Sphex ichnumoneus), pending verification.

They've been visiting
the mint in my garden for two months and they are still a joy when I see them!

Sphex ichneumoneus

I would agree.
Ichneumoneus would almost make you think its the King of all Ichneumons..
