Can someone place this in a family. Genus and/or species will be even better! The wasp was on beach grass In dune line on beach grass.
Thanks!

This was identified by Andy Bennett with the comment: "This is a distinctive species because of the white bands on the apical edge of the abdominal segments."

Yes.
Dick, you may want to check out Untamed Science dot com. Might be at least good promotion for your videos, but they might compensate you, too.

Eric - Thanks!
I took a look at the site - interesting. I also wrote them a short email.
Are you doing some work with them?

Cheers,

Dick
