Field Notes

Description:

I'm not terribly sure about this species identification. I can't find a picture anywhere that shows a wasp or bee with spots on its side. And I'm pretty sure, given the antennae that it is a wasp or bee. But if anyone has a better idea, I'd love to hear it.

Could also be a species of Stenodynerus. Extremely difficult to separate the two based on images alone.
