I have some holes in my garden soil.
They are about 1/2 inch in diameter.
By the amount of the soil piles along side I'd guess they are not very deep.
I saw an insect by one.
It had orange legs and an some orange and some black near the end of it's
body.
Maybe it looked like a big wasp.

It was filling one of the holes.
I watched as it moved dirt and even pebbles almost 1/4 inch long into the
hole until it was filled.

There are other holes nearby.

What is the insect?

How do I get rid of it and if it buried eggs - the eggs.



Thanks for any help

guessing the great golden digger wasp...

should be a non issue for you as far as needing to get rid of it.
Keeping the area wet will encourage them to nest elsewhere.
