Eremnophilia aureonotata
Black with two white spots on sides of thorax.
Usually found on the edges of forest.
A ground nesting wasp. Lays an egg on one caterpillar. I spotted another thread waisted wasp about ten feet away from this location on July 12 th. Ammophilia procera. It was carrying a very similar green caterpillar.
