Sand wasp (Bicyrtes) sp.)

Terrific photo by Diane of the large and handsome sand wasp on boneset. These big wasps are common in mid to late summer and we see them regularly at the FWG. They make their burrows in sandy soils, so they must be nesting somewhere in or near to the garden, but we haven't found evidence of nesting yet.
