John I think the first photo is a different species from the other three photos

The fourth photo may be a different species as well.

The ID of Scolia (Discolia) verticalis is for the first photo. Pics 2 & 3 look like Sphex sp. (genus), and the 4th looks like a bee. Please remove pics 2, 3 & 4 and re-submit separately.
