Moved for expert attention
Moved from Ants, Bees, Wasps and Sawflies.

Certainly appears to be Tremex columba, but we don't have any prior specimens from Oregon, so I'll await expert confirmation.

Thanks
Keep in mind, I saw this at a zoo by picnic tables. Could it be possible that it hitched a ride with some zoo specimen from a exotic location?

Wouldn't have to be terribly exotic...
They're known (occasionally) from California.
