Another black & orange potter wasp, this one has, what appears to be 4 bands of orange alternating with 3 bands of black on the abdomen (photo 5). The dorsal thorax has 2 opposite patches of orange on the sides near where it connects with the abdomen (photos 1, 3, 3 & 4). The narrow but long wings are a tan brown tipped with black (photos 1, 3, & 4). The head appears to be a mix of tan and orange as best I can discern from these poor quality photos (photos 1 & 4). Tje legs appear mostly if not entirely orange, as do the antennae (photos 1 &2).
