Ground Wasp ID?

14 years ago

Hello Everyone!

I haven't posted for months but I still know this is the place to come for information!

This weekend, after several months of no garden activity at all due to a bad knee injury, I started pulling weeds. Right along side the screened patio I saw activity as soon as I cleared a bit of ground. Wasps were emerging from the ground by the dozens! They were large, with a deep reddish brown color and no noticeable markings, like stripes. I've seen them occasionally over the years, but never more than one at a time. Luckily they were not aggressive.

I sprayed the ground and up along the screen because they immediately started climbing to get out of the spray. By the time activity stopped, I think there were around 3 dozen of them.

I tried googling them but didn't find anything that sounded exactly like these wasps. Anyone know what they were?
