Another Pepsis of some kind? - Hemipepsis ustulata - Female
Kerrville, Kerr County, Texas, USA
September 1, 2006
Size: ~30 mm
Here is what I believe is another Pepsis species. It differs somewhat from one I submitted a couple of months ago , in that this one has somewhat shorter black antennae and dark margins on the wings.
