Brian,

I almost missed that the wasp has yellow mandibles, as well as no yellow on the posterior of the head. Another different species. Nicely done.

Thanks for the comments Harold - pretty certain the digger wasp is an Ectemnius sp.

Yes, probably.

Very cool shots. The Darter Dragonflies shot is my favorite (along with the sense of humor).
