Tachypompilus? - Tachypompilus unicolor - Female
River Haven Drive at 2100 feet in the Sierra foothills, Mariposa County, California, USA
July 29, 2019
In a residential vegetable garden on fennel flowers that were attracting larger numbers of Hymenoptera. This individual is in the lower left. The smaller wasp I believe is a male of the same species. See my previous post here:

I did not see the male and the female interact even though they were right next to each other.
