Wasp on Monarda punctata - Tachytes guatemalensis - Male
North Judson, Starke County, Indiana, USA
July 31, 2016
Another view. The powder on the top of the thorax is Monarda punctata pollen; apparently it's sticky. I believe these are the same individuals, the photos were a few minutes apart though, and there may have been more than one of these in the garden at the time.
