Field Notes
Description:
The blue-black body and silvery/gold patches (may wear off in older individuals) are distinctive. (information from BugGuide)
Habitat:
Habitat garden within a public park
Notes:
This looks like a huge insect flying about when you first see them. It took a few seconds to realize it was a mating pair of wasps and not one giant one because they remain hooked together while flying.
