Scolia (Discolia) vollenhoveni
Black wasp with dark blue wings. Head and antennae is orange in color. Body length is about 15mm.
Urban garden.
Wing venation isn't very clear, so Austroscolia ruficeps shouldn't be ruled out. The redder scapes *may* align instead with A. ruficeps based on what few specimens I've seen, but I haven't seen this trait mentioned in any keys to have any confidence in its usefulness.
