The more you know …

It does resemble a wasp or hornet. The species is native to the Eastern United States, but is now widespread.

It's not a "wasp mimic".

Could its coloring be considered "warning colors" or aposematic coloration?

These are the adults that lay the infamous "Imported Cabbage Worm" eggs in your vegetable garden. They can destroy your garden or a farmer's crops in a few days. IMNSHO - you don't want to encourage them.

For those of us in industry I see that as driven by venture funding and financial impact, reagents are generally a small market. monod.bio is exception, diagnostics mostly. When cyrusbio.com was doing CRO work we could not make the economics work for most non-Tx projects, even most AgBio.
