The common mud-dauber wasp - Sceliphron formosum, a bit closer than usual. These guys like to keep to themselves and build nests made of mud.

The head of the wasp is 4.5 mm across. I used a reverse ring on my lens to turn it into a macro lens. Check out the set-up below.

The set-up. If you look closely you can see the wasp in front of the camera.
