Moved for expert attention

Moved from ID Request.

Thanks for cropping.

Thinking Pseudodynerus quadrisectus...

...but the angle's not the best so I'd like a second opinion.

If you have any other angles...

...they might be helpful, particularly if they show the entire abdomen.

EDIT: Never mind. :)

Monobia quadridens, i think.

Please crop your pics...

...so the bug fills the frame, as requested on the submission form. Only you and the editors/experts have the ability to click on the photo and see the full size image. Everyone else is left looking at a little bug in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

You can click on "edit" under any photo and simply upload a cropped version. It will replace the current image.

Thanks!

Cropping

HI,
I guess I don't understand the cropping requirement. The image I sent was severely cropped. The bug filled most of the image. I noticed on some of my other submissions, it said, cropped and sent to identify. There was no room left for cropping.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for all your help in the past.

I cropped one of your other images...

...to give you an idea of what we're looking form. If you compare that one to this one, you'll see what I mean. The image above isn't as bad as some, but it could still be cropped more tightly. This would give other site visitors a better look at your specimen, and possibly increase your chances for an ID.
