Moved

Moved from Ammophilinae.

I'll take your word on this one, Bob. :)

Moved for expert attention

Moved from ID Request.

Eremnophila aureonotata, or Ammophila. I'd like a second opinion on this and the other one you just submitted.

Male!

Ken, I'm not an expert yet, but I can tell you that this is a male Eremnophila aureonotata. Please note that the hair length is a slightly variable trait in this and other wasps of the subfamily Ammophilinae. Have a look at this image of these two faces, from Virginia and you can see that he looks almost exactly the same, but a little less hairy, around the thorax:

Here's one from North Carolina, that looks very close:

Please let me know what you think. Thanks
