Wasp on Canadian Thistle - Sphex ichneumoneus
Copyright © 2014 Lynn Monroe

Wasp on Canadian Thistle - Sphex ichneumoneus
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
August 16, 1996
Size: BL ~ 21.5 mm
This wasp seems to have a thread waist and so is probably a specid. I will also post a dorsal and a face view. Any help with its identification is much appreciated.
Please check the face view at #963042. For some reason it came in as a separate insect file. I've not been able to correct.
