Comparison Of The Two Kinds Of Wasps

I got one shot with both wasps to show how much bigger the Golden Rein is than the Sand Digger. Still, both are large wasps.
Male Golden Rein Wasp (Sphex habenus)
Southern Marsh Fleabane wildflower (Pluchea odorata var. odorata)
Sand Digger Wasp (Bicyrtes quadrifasciatus )
