Can you please identify the species of this wasp that patrols our backyard? I was excited to photograph the wing cleaning (4th and 5th photos)! Thank you for any response! Ruth
P.S. These photos were captured in a series of 40 seconds, from 12:03:25 to 12:04:05 p.m.
I’m guessing a regular gray squirrel
Purple flower maybe a wild flower of some type
I believe this is some type of young tree
