Suwannee River. Really looking for taillight shiners

i can’t tell what kind of wasp this is, the abdomen is skinny and unfortunately it has lost one wing.

Western, but I want to compare. Saw 13 in about 50 yards on n side of causeway

Looks similar but seems smaller and less shiny than the Pachodynerus erynnis that nest in the porch beehouse.

Striped abdomen

Very unsure about this

The male CSWA is quite different from the female. I never would have known. My first ID attempt was a v careless error.

So not Horse Guard, Stictia carolina. Note solid bands in metasoma. And there are bristles. This is a lifer!

? lunatus

Mass emergence from bee house. And they are BUSY!

15 or so mm. Small. Sea foam green background. Found in SE moth field guide but could not find species in database. Have a couple of these observations.

Found in grass of old pasture near swamp. Weather hot and clear. About 1 mm long.
