Pseudomasaris vespoides (Vespidae) in Colorado Springs - Pseudomasaris - Female
Colorado Springs Foothills, North Cheyenne Canyon, El Paso County, Colorado, USA
June 5, 2006
Size: L = 20 mm
This pollen wasp was found on Penstemon unilateralis - One-sided Penstemon. Note the club-antennae. H.E.Evans states that only males have club-antenae. I saw same species on the same date in 2002 in the same area. Ventral view through a jar.
