7132.       I found this flying insect being very lethargic outside the building I worked in back on Aug 29th 2018. Photos taken by me in Penticton, BC. After watching a Brave Wilderness video on YouTube this insect looks almost exactly the same as a Tarantula Hawk. Please identify. Thank you. Penticton, British Columbia. Canada

Number 7132. This is a spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), and it belongs to the same tribe (Pepsini) as tarantula hawks. It appears to be Calopompilus pyrrhomelas, the largest spider wasp reported from British Columbia; Click here for an image.
