P. grossa is identified vs. other Pepsis wasps as being the only species to have 12 antennal segments. Relative to P. thisbe, it is larger, has hairier legs, and from my own observation does not seem to have clear wingtips past the dark submarginal band of the forewing.

On a taxonomic note, I believe this species is now considered P. grossa, but would appreciate information regarding this.

Came out to Medley to see some remnant wetland prairie areas I noticed on google maps. There weren't any iNaturalist observations around here so I figured it would be fun to see what was around.
All my observations from today:

Solo bioblitz of a green area I noticed on google maps. A big storm rolled in so I took shelter in the various entrances (not indoors but covered) of a nearby building. I ended up stuck there for a couple hours due to the heavy rain and occasional close lightning strike.

To pass the time I focused on the building's windows, trying to find insects/spiders. There was also a yellow-billed cuckoo that appeared stunned near a window. I got within a couple feet without noticing it and then it weakly flew off and hid in a bush. I am hoping/assuming it ended up okay.

All of my observations from this area today: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=25.826991413835795&nelng=-80.28554528260109&on=2022-10-09&order=asc&order_by=observed_on&place_id=any&swlat=25.784492235462036&swlng=-80.37532418274758&user_id=joemdo&verifiable=any

Yikes... actually tried to key this one out using the resource cited below by Torre-Bueno (1939). Not sure if I messed up somewhere but I have the parts of the key I followed below as well. This species (assuming all one species) is very common on the globose flowerheads of Spermacoce verticillata and I decided to take a specimen now that I have a microscope.

"1. Spiracles of ventral segments III to VI below the lateral carina ....2"
(not super sure about this part, see last image)

"2.Apex of corium acute....11"
(this was the focus of photos 2-6, pretty sure it shows an acute (rather than rounded/obtusely pointed) corium)

"11. Pale markings of the corium widened near the base, extending over the cubital vein and almost filling the cell between cubital vein and the claval suture... 12"
I am interpreting pale as including the yellow/orange color. Not sure if that is too much of a stretch and shows that I messed up somewhere in keying this bug out! In any case, it is widened just after the base... right? (see photo 7)

"12. Male with the entire upper surface with uniform large deep punctures with narrow ridges between giving a honeycombed effect; hind margin of the hypopygium deeply concave emarginate; female with the entire upper surface with uniform deep punctures; length, less than 2.5mm"
Definitely less than 2.5mm as shown in first image. upper surface does seem to have large deep punctures with narrow ridges/honeycombed effect, but I might just be seeing that wrong. I did not try to figure out the hypopygium and honestly don't know if this is a female or male. (see photos 1, 7, 8)

I've been seeing this species of spider for a few years at this location, always right at the water line of the lake and equally at home on land or water, darting across the water surface with ease. This species is depicted on Bugguide as undetermined but links the below as similar from the Dominican Republic. It seems reasonable to at least record this here under the generic level until things are more accurately determined.
