Hello,
Could you please indentify this bug? Is it a wasp variety?

Dear C Chandler,
This is not a wasp, but it is a Tiger Moth that mimics a wasp. Ctenucha multifaria has no common name, but we identified it on BugGuide. According to BugGuide: “Distal tip and entire costal edge of forewing narrowly white-marginned.”
