I was able to encourage a few outside, so some survived. I only posted the dead one in case it helps with identification. They are small wasps, maybe at the most an inch, counting the antennae. I am thinking it may be an Eumeninae, possibly Ancistrocerus. I hesitate to get to species level since there are so many insects that look similar. Did I get close? Thank you so much for any help. |
