Wasp thistle - Parancistrocerus perennis

Wasp thistle - Parancistrocerus perennis
Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas, USA
July 16, 2020
Size: 10mm
This wasp, which I initially thought might be a Cerceris was obsessed with this area of a very tall thistle. I could not determine if the dark objects in the leaf strands were the item of interest. Not sure it is a Cerceris after watching it.

Eumeninae
Some kind of Eumeninae.

The wings being folded longways is always a good hint that the wasp is in the Family Vespidae.
