Can anyone ID this flying insect? It looks really neat. It was hard getting a photo of it and it didn't stay very long before it flew away.

Edit to add- thanks for the help everyone! :) It looks like it is a Sphecid/Sceliphron/Mud Dauber wasp. It came back and is enjoying more of the Sarracenia nectar.

Cleaned up and moved the dormant Drosera paradoxa (sundew) into a new pot. It's in an open glass container until the ambient humidity in this room goes up. This one came out of dormancy mid going into late March last year (see link at https://layer8.space/@chillicampari/112169585969118118), but it can vary. As I am doing with a few other plants, I top dressed it with chopped fresh sphagnum moss that I keep in a jar.
