A Vespidae to identify please...

pilonm Nov 29, 2008 10:43 AM

Hello I photographied this hymenoptera at the Mont Orford National Park in Quebec, near Vermont, USA, last June (21st).

I'm not sure about the id but I'm suspecting a Vespidae, genus Ancistrocerus.

Any suggestion?

Also, I would like to know which picture amongst the 2, do you prefer?

Thank you,

Michel

Thank you wolfpack for your help.

After discussing on other forums, the genus is good but the species is impossible to know from the picture.

Cheers!

Michel
