Wasp id
Dear John,
Thank you for the prompt identification of this wasp. I had not seen this one before in our front yard (although I see a lot of other wasp species), and I was particularly taken by its striking coloration - the green/blue eyes and vivid yellow legs.

Thank you again,
All the very Best,
Jon.
