Pomp orange - Poecilopompilus algidus
Holla Bend NWR, Pope County, Arkansas, USA

Size: 25mm
Another Poecilopompilus?? If so, I saw 15 to 20 separate individuals in this field nectaring. And damn they were hard to shoot. This is a shot of one kind of hopping flying to the next nectar.

Yes...
there should be no other genus of pompiline spider wasp with this coloration. This should be P. algidus.
