Sleeping wasp - Myzinum - Male
Savannah, Andrew County, Missouri, USA
July 8, 2010
Size: 1 1/2 inches
This pretty wasp was resting on the underside of a stem. I have seen these around here before but have never been able to manage a photo until I caught this one "sleeping". Does anyone know what kind of wasp it is?

Tiphiid, maybe?
Looks a bit like Myzinum:



However, I could be mistaken, so please wait for expert confirmation/correction.
