User's notes
The insect ran around erratically on the ground, darting here and there, i cannot find a match for a wasp or a bee, considered an exotic hornet, but its movements were similar to 2 mud dauber wasps that i have recorded so that as a possibility. it seems to have greyish bands on lower abdomen and an orange daub on the bottom of the abdomen (or on wing?) but wholly black otherwise.
