Congrats Rick !
We're saving all the northwest Ohio bugs til your return.
They're not very active at -1 degrees :)

Great find!
Only the second set of pictures of this genus/species on Bugguide.

Thanks.
Thanks, Matthias and Ken. I don't know much about wasps but this one looked different than all the other wasps I've been seeing. I think this is the same species, possibly the same individual, that I had posted to BG a week or so earlier.

Moved for expert attention
Moved from ID Request.

Thinking Eumenes, but it's different enough from most of the others in the Guide to make me want to play it safe.
