 Isodontia auripes (Brown-Legged Grass-Carrier). | I believe this is a Brown-Legged Grass-Carrier (Isodontia auripes). It is found in the Easten US. The brown legs are characteristic. They belong to the grass-carrying wasps because they use grass blades to partition cells and form closing plugs in their cavity nests.
