Wasp? - Delphinia picta
Madison County, Alabama, USA
September 14, 2009
Size: Approximately 1/4" long
I have seen these frequently crawling around on our patio table this summer. I have tried to ID numerous times with no luck. Very small with wing span of maybe 3/8". Pic was taken on edge of patio table. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much. No wonder
Thank you so much. No wonder I couldn't ID it after searching for hours-I was looking in the wrong place. I love this site!
