A BIG WASP. DUNNO
RON D. HERE AGAIN FROM CENTRAL ILLINOIS. I SAW THIS LARGE WASP AND TOOK IT’S PICTURE. IT’S ABOUT 1 1/4" LONG AND QUITE PRETTY. HAVE ANY IDEA?? I’M SURE YOU DO.

Hi Ron,
This appears to be a Tiphiid Wasp in the genus Myzinum, possibly the Five Banded Tiphiid, Myzinum quinquecinctum.
