Hi Jackie. I thought that was the actual name of the wasp but I have just checked and found it was actually called Great Black Wasp. This is not to say that what I photographed was the Great Black Wasp. I saw a number of these insects today. Nearly all of them were around the 1 -1.5 inch mark. Sorry for any confusion.

I don't know what characters (features) of Prionyx distinguish it from Sphex, so I'll hold off on this one.
