Q.Any Idea What Type Species Of Wasp This Might Be?
This wasp was killed on lower bayou Lafourche, right after hurricane Delta. We could not identify with numerous online searches, thought we’d reach out for some professional help. Some with more experience, any help would be greatly appreciated, he is a nasty looking fellow. Thanks
