Steel Blue Cricket Hunter (Chlorion aerarium), family Sphecidae, found across the US, far northern Mexico, and extreme southern Canada.
Not found near homes that often, they tend to frequent open fields.
Females paralyze crickets. They dig burrows into the ground, where the place the cricket. They then lay an egg on the cricket, which the larvae feed on.

Milde’s Tarantula-Hawk Wasp (Pepsis mildei), female, family Pompilidae, National Butterfly Center, Mission, TX, US
- with Western Honey Bee friend.
Another wasp in this genus has what is considered to be the most painful sting of any insect in the United States, Pepsis grossa. This species most likely has a comparable sting.
As with many species of wasp, the adults feed on nectar and pollen from flowers.
They paralyze tarantulas and other large spiders, which they feed to their larvae.
This individual was HUGE, and very active!
(almost 2.5 inches in length).
Seen here feeding on a mixture of mashed banana, beer, and yeast, spread on one of the feeding logs next to the trails.
