@matthias22 I was pretty stoked when I observed this lovely wasp catching a Buffalo Treehopper (Genus Stictocephala- See second image). Is H. nebulosus the expected species here? I will try to get more pics showing the wing pattern.

Au moins deux de ces superbes insectes étaient présents dans le jardin de pollinisateurs!
I think this is the largest wasp I have ever seen.

The latest tropical storm Beryl brought many spot-winged gliders to the area in the past few days. Been keeping my eyes peeled for maybe something unusual as last year I found a Striped Saddlebags. So yesterday I was at New River Beach, and their were lots of gliders around and so I thought I would drop by my workplace to have a look around. I was blessed to find what I believe to be two black saddlebags in the mix of spot-winged gliders, blue dashers and at least 6 male common green darners. Love when the storms push these rarities Northward.

This small male with the mostly separated dorsal markings gave me pause. I first thought it might be Parasyrphus tarsatus, but things don't appear quite right for that. @billdean Do you agree?

Extensive yellow pile visible on tergite 5. In my experience, the abdominal stripes of this species also tend to be more ivory-coloured than yellow in this species, although that is not mentioned in the literature. Perhaps this is a regional thing?

The abdominal dorsal pattern resembles the B. perplexa illustration in the Flower Fly guide. Do we see enough to confirm/deny? @jhskevington @johnklymko

@johnklymko Does this look right? If so, my first encounter with this Genus :)

@phycus Is this correct? It does not seem to have the yellow at the base of the wings as in Blera nigra, which I also saw on this day.

On a Chokecherry blossom in a hardwood forest. S. lobata seems like a good fit for the abdominal pattern.

First ode of season 2024 and earliest ever for me. Previous was May 12 in 2022. Most of my 1st ode sightings are 3rd week of May so this is quite early.
