Digger Wasp
Found at La Selva Biological Station, near Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Heredia Province, Costa Rica.
Sphecidae, I believe. A large and beautifully colored species. ID help appreciated.
Found at the Arboleda (Holdridge Arboretum). When I first stumbled upon her, she was hauling a katydid back to her burrow. I didn't get a good shot of that but waited and got several shots as she was exiting her burrow.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
