Usually they go after fried chicken and hot dogs on a pic-nic.
I'm surprised he is interested in a sunflower.
Good picture of him though.
What I can see of it, I would tend to call it a wasp also.
But the most I know of that order of critters, is that yellow-jackets and I are NOT on friendly terms!

Angky.
Actually, it is a wasp. That was my initial conclusion, however I was incorrected by someone insisting it was a Yellow Jacket. Neither one is a real joy to be around.
Temperamental, unpredictable and nasty. Thanks for your comments.
