Nice specimen What is the wingspan? I caught a female P. mildei in Costa Rica. It has a 75mm wingspan. I attach a photo of a Pepsis xanthocera female. It is very similar in size to P. mildei and has the interesting dark inner wings. I have a few other Pepsis such as P. heros, P. sumptuosa and P. apicalis. I also have a few Hemipepsis from around the world. I think that they are all really beautiful wasps. Johnny Attachments:

She has a 70 mm wingspan -- so a little smaller than yours! That seems to be the max size for any of my Pepsis, including P. grossa.
