Thread-waisted Wasp feeding on Stonecrop Sedum - Eumenes fraternus

Thread-waisted Wasp feeding on Stonecrop Sedum - Eumenes fraternus
Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, USA
September 3, 2018
I am sure this is some type of thread-waisted wasp. I notice that it has two-toned legs and maybe a bend in antennae. I thought it might be some type of mud-dauber or Katydid or wood roach wasp but am trying to increase my observation skills, so I maybe way off base.:) Feeding on Stonecrop sedum in my flower bed.

The fore wing is folded around the hind wing which is characteristic of vespids. a sphecid wasp would have its fore wing flat.
The thin "waist" on these wasps and in the genus Zethus can be confusing

Wow! That was fast!
Didn't take the time to explore the Potter/Mason wasps. Trying to learn!
