Mischocyttarus flavitarsis female.
This is a nice shot of a type of paper wasp, Mischocyttarus flavitarsis, showing the unique resting posture with the abdomen above the wings. Please add this image to the existing ones in the guide. Thanks for sharing!

Actually, we'll move this image
to the guide, since it has the comments, and the other to Frass. No need to resubmit an image, just TAG the original and move it to the place in the guide where it belongs. It's a little confusing initially, but you'll catch on to the software capabilities pretty quickly.
