Chlorion aerarium
wonderful... i followed her around for a long time waiting for her to find something, in this case a cricket, so i could have a better chance of identifying her, although i did not witness her getting anything. for a big wasp she was a difficult subject to photograph... very active. thank you very much for the id Mr. Eaton.
