Scoliid? - Triscolia ardens - Male
12.5 mi. SW Benson - French Joe Canyon, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
September 13, 2016
Size: ~ 16 mm
First thought this was a male Mutillid when I saw it airborne. Now thinking it might be a male Scoliid, perhaps Triscolia ardens? Confirmation/correction, and further placement would be appreciated.

Male - Scoliid Wasp
This is a male Triscolia ardens. (south-western range) There is only one species in the genus in North America. The wings have three sub-marginal cells, which separates this genus from the look-alikes in the genus Scolia. (check the links on the info tabs) Nice shooting!
