I am having trouble identifying a certain flying insect in my backyard. It appears to be a very large bee or fly, measuring approx. 2 inches in length. It has very colorful horizontal stripes(like a bee) on it's back that are yellow/red color... it has a long body. They buzz around the yard and make a bumble bee type noise. They also build a dirt nest in the ground (we think) Does anyone know what this is?? :-/ Thanks
