Entypus unifasciatus - female

Entypus unifasciatus - Female
Duke Gardens, Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
August 18, 2007
Size: 20 mm
This wasp was absolutely frenetic, chasing over a cultivated Angelica. Length estimated. This is a first BugGuide record for North Carolina. (I won't add any more for distributional reasons.)

As Nick Fensler mentions below, this is a fresh female.

Nice shot!
This looks like a VERY "young" female. Some of the female E. fulvicornis in Ohio that I've captured already have extensive wing wear.
