I'm think it's a wasp, but I'm not sure which one. I don't think it's a yellow jacket. The color pattern is wrong for V. maculifrons and V. squamosa, and the body is too slender. It looks superficially like wasps in the genius Myzinum, but if it's only 1/4 inch long, I think that's really small for that group.
i measured the yellow center of the weed and it is 1/4" diameter.so its about 1/4" not counting the antenna
