Mostly about ½" (13 mm) long; color fl; head with inner margins of eyes notched; front wing with 1 submarginal cell, marginal cell pointed apically; and make long (up to 8+"/20+cm) tubular mud nests provisioned with spiders.
Mud daubers are solitary wasps, they are not social and do not live in colonies.
The sphecinae mud daubers overwinter as full-grown larvae, pupate in the spring, and emerge shortly thereafter.

 Sphecid Wasps of Michigan
The thread-waisted wasps, or Sphecinae (sensu Bohart and Menke 1976) are conspicuous inhabitants of sandy areas, vacant lots, and human residences (mud daubers).
They have long been a favorite group for ethologists and naturalists because of their large size and easily observed nesting habits.
Michigan has representatives of all the l l genera of North American Sphecinae, and 26 of the 127 North American species.

The subfamily Sphecinae, thread-waisted wasps and mud-daubers, is a group of medium to large wasps found around the world.
The Canadian fauna includes 48 species, 21 of which are found in the Montane Cordillera Ecozone.
Sphecinae have a wide range of nesting behaviour; prey usually includes spiders, orthopteroids or lepidopterous larvae.

Mais il est souvent facile d'observer le collare formé par le bord postérieur, parfois en gros bourrelet comme chez les Sphecinae, parfois plus discret, mais bien caractérisé, associé aux lobes pronotaux arrondis, souvent facilement observables.
Toutefois, globalement on peut dire qu'un Sphecidae possédant un vrai pétiole, à peu près cylindrique et formé du seule sternite 1, parfois prolongé par un post-pétiole formé du seul tergite 1, est un Sphecinae.
je l'avais fait d'autant plus que s'agissant de Sphecinae, on est dans des tailles ou les Apidae posent généralement moins de problèmes et de plus il y a un pétiole qui élimine les Apidae.

 Narrow-Waisted Solitary Wasps of Kentucky - University of Kentucky Entomology
Most are shiny fl or metallic blue, some with bright red, yellow, or orange markings.
The most common sphecid wasps are in the subfamily Sphecinae and are called "Thread-Waisted Wasps." These sphecids have a long, narrow, antlike appearance.
Some sphecids, often called "mud-daubers," make mud nests for their larvae which they attach to the sides of rocks and buildings.

 SPHECOS 30, June 1996, p. 24-26
Among the insects he had a special love for aculeate Hymenoptera, and this is reflected in his collections and papers, dating from 1910 to 1934.
These concern faunistic studies and biology of various groups and the description of a number of species, mainly Eumeninae (Vespidae), but also Polistinae, Masarinae, Sphecinae and Trigonalyidae.
Around the 30's he moved to Asuncion to work with the Ministry of Agriculture, bringing a part of his collection and eventually depositing it in the basement of the Banco Agricola (now Banco de Fomento) where Winkelried had his last office.

 pnw-spineless: Strategies for finding resources to insects on the internet
I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to figure out what spp of Sphecidae I had under my microscope.
It seems to be of the subfamily Sphecinae, a thread-waisted wasp, but I did not find any pictures of my critter, nor any good databases like the ones Allyn found for his moth.
I tend to just use google but maybe there are some search terms or strategies I am not aware of.
