Thanks
for your patience. I should have been able to get closer on this one myself. To Pompilidae at once! I didn't know it was such a lucky day. I'll have to target that flowers blooming season next summer.

i think that would be an Entypus unifasciatus, and a nice picture of one at that... i have seen quite a few this year and have yet to get a good photo.
