Frassing
since we already have this.

 
I Agree- Don't Frass It!
When I said there was no point to posting it to the genus, I meant you should have just posted it at the species level since the ID isn't in doubt. Up to a point, even identical specimens give some idea of the variation- or lack thereof. If yours were 98th through 100th for the species, it might be different- but we have only a handful.

Besides, as has been pointed out, you have some really nice images here. After hours of stalking Pseudodoros around the garden over a couple of days I got lots of blurred and half-focused shots and only a couple of decent ones- so I really appreciate yours!

 
Thank you both.
I did understand what you meant Chuck, I just did not see any reason to add the same thing, I do not want to get repetitive:)

 
Oh, no!
Don't frass such a good image! And it is more valuable because you have the pupa too. It is good to have more than one specimen because there are individual variations.

Pseudodoros clavatus
According to Gerard Pennards' comments on this image , only Pseudodoros has the yellow scutellum with the dark bar across the middle. If you check Nearctica, you'll find there's only the one species, so there's no point in posting it to the genus.
