This slender-waisted wasp doesn't live in colonies; the female builds her own nest. This Sphecidae wasp still consumes flower nectar, like most wasps. It differs from other wasps in a few ways, such as its tendency to live separately from its host.

Furthermore, it's not dangerous to humans. This is because Sphecidae are not aggressive and easily provoked. This is unless they are trapped or pushed, which forces them to smell something that could harm them. Its distinctive feature is its black and orange coloration. Its body and eyes are jet black, while its back and abdomen are orange. That's one of the beauties of Sphecidae.
