Yes melanic P. zonalis -
Have added this place to spots to check out this year.
The plant is a Phacelia as expected, probably var. leptocephala in the Twin Lakes area.
Moved from Pseudomasaris.

My first hunch
is P. zonalis but my grandkids just came through the door and I have to take my attention away from this. Will revisit soon.

You, sir, have...
...an admirable sense of priority. Enjoy the grandkids!

Thanks, Ken -
always enjoy the grandkids and they're enjoying their new wasp t-shirts, one of Prionyx foxi, another with image of Cerceris californica.
