Red-marked Pachodynerus - Pachodynerus erynnis
Small wood lot 1/4 mile ENE of ferry landing on the NE side of Galveston Island, Galveston County, Texas, USA
April 15, 2012
Size: ~ 3/4 - 1 in. long
This was small relative to paper wasps I commonly see. It was as long as my middle finger is wide at most. Another size reference is the saltcedar (Tamarix sp.) flowers it was using in this photo.

Just curious...
How did you obtain the species-level ID? Are you sure it's not one of the other, similar species? For instance:



You could very well be right--but if you didn't get an expert to identify it, I suggest moving it back to where Dr. Ascher placed it.

Thanks--and welcome to BugGuide!

Done!
Thanks for the pointer. I have moved it back.
