Cerceris sextoides
Black and yellow, marked with reddish on antennae. Note constrictions between abdominal segments that help identify the genus Cerceris.
Found this in a friend's garden in Redondo Beach.
Males are territorial, and this one was periodically perching, on the lookout for females and competing males.
