Great black digger wasp (Sphex pensylvanicus)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

A very large wasp in the Sphecidae family (the thread-waisted wasps). This one is on mountain mint, a plant that attracts a huge number of insects. Every summer, about mid-July onward for some weeks, this species appears, often seen at the same time as Sphex ichneumoneus, the Golden Digger Wasp.
