ornate orange and yellow wasp - Ceratogastra ornata

Cardinal Marsh, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
August 13, 2019
Size: ~12 mm

This colorful wasp appears to be a perfect match for Ceratogastra ornata, but I see that it has not been reported from Iowa before, so maybe it is something else.

Ceratogastra ornata female

Thanks for moving this Ceratogastra ornata wasp to its proper place, Ken! My computer has been down for the past day so I wasn't able to do it quickly.

Yes - a female…

See reference here.

Ceratogastra ornata female

Thanks so much for confirming the identity of this colorful wasp, Ross! I was not aware that this was a female until I compared some specimens in your reference.
