User's notes

About 18 mm in head/body length. This looks rather bee-like but the long antennae with short scape argue against this; so I'm postulating a flower (Tiphiid) wasp possible bee mimic?

It does look more like a bee (e.g. a Lasioglossum) than a tiphiid, but the size?

Size can be difficult to estimate.
