Hi Ronald and Amissa, please consider adding this wasp spotting to the mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12446696

yes, looks more like a Bradynobaenidae. Besides the Stinger, it also has an "ant like" knot between the torax and the abdomen

Looking more closely I'm pretty sure I see a stinger. Guess this isn't a male after all.

This could be a wasp in the family Bradynobaenidae (http://bugguide.net/node/view/77371) or a male Mutillid (http://bugguide.net/node/view/159/). These two families can look a lot alike.
