Caribbean Scoliid Wasp (male)

Dielis dorsata

Habitat:

fields, disturbed fields

Notes:

According to bugguide.net, this wasp wasn't recorded in the U.S. until recently (my pic of the female was the first one they had). Now a few more pics of males and another female have been posted from Palm Beach, FL. There was the question raised in bugguide as to whether they have become established or not. I think they have since I saw this male in the same area of the female, but over a year later. Here is the female: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/851...
