Timulla? - Timulla vagans - female

Timulla? - Timulla vagans - Female
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
July 7, 2006
Size: est. 5 - 6 mm
I found this attractive female crawling on a pair of tin snips and got her to drop into my pocket vial, which already contained several beetles. I wondered if she would sting any of her vial-mates. However, when I emptied the vial into my light arena, all were healthy but the wasp, who was curled into a defensive posture and could not seem to straighten out or stand.

Timulla sp.
This is a member of the genus Timulla, it might be T. vagans, but I cant give a confident species determination.

Thank you, Kevin.
I know you are familiar with this group. I'll move it to genus.
