another example?
Seen recently in my North Carolina Piedmont yard, and I got a few decent images:



I thought it was Pepsis menechma until I looked at the photos ccarefully, then I thought Gnamptopelta obsidianator, but saw Tom's photos here and said hmmm. Any opinions on mine?

Moved
Moved from Ichneumoninae.

T1 has a strong conical projection at the base, and the genae bulge out rather than receding behind the eye.

Moved from Gnamptopelta obsidianator.

I see no evidence of the requisite pyramidal scutellum. This may be I. centrator instead or possibly Conocalama brullei.

Thanks Ross. It stayed on the moth sheet for a couple hours.

Rarely attracted to lights.
