That illusive insect is a Cicada Killer.

Wasps by the way are generally the beneficial and will usually nests in out the way location where there not like to be disturbed, and this should be left alone.
Female Cicada Killer wasp capture annual Cicada’s in July and August and placed them in cells located at the ends of tunnel they have dug in the ground.
Each tunnel is about the size of as quarter and extends 24 inches or more into the ground.
