I have seen a lot of this scoliid this year, with the pair of yellow abdominal dots, but did not know the species. Thanks for that.

Laeviscolia frontalis has yellow on the vertex in females & yellow on the pronotum in males & this specimen appears to have neither, so I’m thinking it’s likely to be Australelis anthracina😊
