I posted several shots in the Photo Gallery of these two piggy-back trying to extract their dinner but so far no one has identified what they are. I'm sure someone here knows - thanks.

This is not a macro shot - it was taken with a Nikon 500mm pf.

I think you have one of the varieties of thread waisted wasps - they come in several colors - one of which is black. i have several types in quantity!

They're great black wasps with a very painful sting.
Thanks QD

They do look very much like those wasps (and they are the same family), but its a different species. I posted in your original link. Really great pictures, too!👍

Nice shot. I know the names of very few insects.
