"Your wasp could be any of several species of Ammophila.
Ammophila nigricans is common in North Carolina, but you may have another in your area. (Nice picture!!) "

  • This is definitely *not* Ammophila nigricans. Much more likely to be Ammophila procera if it was very large for the genus. Great video, though!
