Sphex ichneumoneus
Large black and orange wasp with dark wings. Wings had a slight bluish iridescence. Very active feeding on the Oregano flowers. Would vibrate wings as it moved around from flower to flower.
Suburban backyard garden.
This is one of the largest wasps of this type that I have ever seen. There were several of them on the flowers feeding.
