Sphex ichneumoneus, commonly known as the great golden digger wasp, is a wasp in the family Sphecidae. It is native to the Western Hemisphere, from Canada to South America, and provisions its young with various types of paralyzed Orthoptera. The species is identifiable by the golden pubescence on its head and thorax, its reddish orange legs, and partly reddish orange body. This S. ichneumoneus wasp was photographed in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City, United States. Photograph credit: Rhododendrites
