Sphecid wasp - Sceliphron caementarium - female

Sphecid wasp - Sceliphron caementarium - Female
Medford, Jackson County, Oregon, USA
July 7, 2013
This female created her nest inside my tool shed that is surrounded by several large female black widows. The nest measures approximately 3½ inches at its longest point.

Sphecid wasp
WOW!
I have never seen the black and yellow type, I have been stung by mud-daubers due to picking something up and placing it against my chest with the nest on my skin, I did not see it until it had stung me. This wasp looks like it has more of an attitude.
Good Picture!
