Your letter to the bugman: Hello,
I believe this is a thread waisted wasp, based on info I found on your site. It has recently shown up in my garden!
I’m sharing this photo and just wondering if that’s what it is.

Dear Urban garden gal,
This is actually a Potter Wasp in the genus Eumenes, and not a Thread-Waisted Wasp as this BugGuide image illustrates. If you hunt carefully in your garden, paying attention to bare twigs, you might locate the pot-shaped nest of the Potter Wasp.
