[Pollinator] The black and yellow mud dauber: Sceliphron caementarium

[Travis O]

Hello,

While going through some empty beehives this week, I came across a large thread-waisted wasp. For months I've found the nests of the wasp but did not know the identify of the culprit, until now. It's an interesting hymenopteran I'd like to share with you, visit the following link for some photos I've taken and some information on this widespread pollinator.
