Pepsis Arkansas - Pepsis
Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas, USA
September 6, 2008
Size: 30mm
Late summer Pepsis again in AR. I think these are pretty much all grossa and I have never seen them hunting or capturing or digging in my state. Just nectaring as this one was at the end of summer. I will put this in the Pepsis general area and let the other wasp guys have a look.

Orange-tipped antennae.
Reminds me most of Pepsis mildei, but I'm not sure what male grossa look like that far east.
