Myzinum quinquecinctum
These black and yellow wasps are about 2.5 to 3 cm in length. Females are towards the shorter end of this size range. They are so named due to the five bands of yellow on the abdomen. Females can sting.
I photographed this insect in a flower garden at a local suburban park near a lake.
