   I hadn’t realized there was a common name for Isodontia elegans. Definitely going to start using it.

     I don’t remember where I picked that up originally, but I got Heather Holm’s Wasps, A Guide for Eastern North America, in the mail today, and she uses it.

   Love these. May I add the photos to my own personal wasp field guide*? I think I only have a couple of these already.

     Certainly. See also Heather Holm’s new book on wasps for ID and natural history info https://www.pollinationpress.com/store/p17/wasps.html

   Wasps are so interesting! I enjoy watching them build their “nurseries”, on the siding of my house.
