This little black wasp with the wing tips colored white was found dead on a flower for unknown reasons. To see the moth which mimics this wasp, see the spotting for the Ctenuchid (Myrmecopsis strigosa) from San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/652....

I think you are right Juan, I'm looking at Vespids now.
Hi Lauren. I think this is not a bee, bees can not fold their wings (like the insect in the picture), this is a very typicall feature of Vespid wasps
Thanks Leuba, still looking for what it is. I know I've seen it before.
quite dramatic-looking -poor thing !
