Female Andrenosoma sp., presumably Andrenosoma igneum Bromley, 1929 based on Eric Fisher's determination on bugguide of a different individual at this same refuge. Found at Resaca De La Palma State Park in far southern Texas. Cameron County, Texas, USA.

 

She seemed to be ovipositing in the bark of this fallen tree limb.
