Jamaican Digger Wasp
Sphex jamaicensis
25.6961, -80.3718
Field Notes
Habitat:
A Caribbean wasp found in Cuba, Bahamas, Little Cayman, and Jamaica, is also found here in South Florida's parks, and disturbed fields.
Notes:
A fairly larger wasp than paper wasps, this showy rust orange wasp with iridescent black wings was feeding on a patch of Wild Poinsettia.
NOTE: I made up that common name, as I don't find one on line, from the scientific name.
