Pachodynerus erynnis (FL)
This genus looks quite similar to Euodynerus. The species is quite common in FL.

Cropping
This image would benefit from some cropping. Remember that only you and the editors can see the full size image and everybody else misses the details.

Wasp.
This is a mason wasp in the family Vespidae, subfamily Eumeninae. It is probably a male (white or yellow 'face') in the genus Euodynerus, many species of which have a 'chunky' appearance like this. He is incapable of stinging; the solitary females dispatch fair numbers of caterpillars which they store in nests for their offspring.

Wasp
Thank you so much. I like taking pictures of insects and have found several species on this website, just not this one. I like to make sure what they are. Patsy Laird
