Wasp( Paravespula vulgaris )

A wasp is any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is not a bee, sawfly, or an ant. Less familiar, the suborder Symphyta includes the sawflies and wood wasps, which differ from the Apocrita by having a broad connection between the thorax and abdomen. Also, Symphyta larvae are mostly herbivorous and "caterpillarlike", whereas those of Apocrita are largely predatory or parasitic.

Most familiar wasps belong to the Aculeata, a division of the Apocrita, whose ovipositors are modified into a venomous stinger. Aculeata also contains ants and bees. In this sense, the species called "velvet ants" (Mutillidae) are actually wasps.

Hello Chris,
Sorry no time,critique later...:)

Hello Chris,

It's definitely not a paper wasp (Vespidae), but a Cicada Killer, Sphecius speciosus (Crabronidae or Sphecidae, Bembicinae).

Best regards,
Dmitry
