These gals are super weird! I can’t line up the naked black thorax, disorderly white hair at the front, black face, and single yellow stripe with my I.D. books. Help?

I don’t know what kind of wasp this little guy is (weevil wasp? maybe?) but I’m afraid I harassed him a little as - I think- he was preparing to sleep. He clamped onto this leaf, did a bunch of squirming that I think was a cleaning ritual, and then just sort of stuck there. He did lift his legs on the side I approached, so he was alert! When I checked on him later his antennae were droopy. :) Fascinating, though I feel a bit guilty for bugging him for photos...

Well, this is the second underwing I've seen in 2 days, though I haven't bothered to catch and ID one before. This little guy had deformed and damaged wings, though- and my daughter has been begging for a "pet" butterfly or moth. Sooo... meet "Barkey," the bark-colored underwing. If I have my ID right, the bugger is invasive and damaging, so I guess he's better with us inside anyhow. Sorry for the photo quality (lack thereof). Hope to get a better one without flash on the 'morrow.

P.S. Barkey happily drank some water and ate from a halved grape around bedtime.
