Bicyrtes quadrifaciatus
These are digging holes in the sand on our patio. They are carrying something that they deposit in the hole then cover it up. Thanks ForestDragon!

I love these actions shots! Perhaps Bicyrtes quadrifasciatus: http://bugguide.net/node/view/41983
This is a species of solitary wasp. She's bringing paralyzed food items back as provisions for the eggs she's laying underground. It's really neat behavior to get to observe. :-)
