Is this a tiphiid wasp? The other black wasps i identified as tiphiids are smaller and with a bigger head (when compared to the size of their body). This is almost 1 cm long.

Location: Cawston, Okanagan-Similkameen, BC, Canada
Habitat: Apple orchard surrounded by Artemisia tridentata scrubland
Date: 3. VII. 2009

Looks like it. Could be Myzininae.

Thanks for confirmation! It must be a different species compared to the others i got.

Thanks again.
