horntail? - Tremex columba
New Freedom, Southern York County, Pennsylvania, USA
September 9, 2006
Size: 1.75"
This was found in my backyard (in southern PA). I have never seen an insect like this before around here. My first guess was that it was some kind of queen but I couldn't find any matches. After looking into it the closest I could find is some kind of Tiphiid or Horntail.
