Got the right shape but nobody is going to be able to give a positive ID with those pics. Gonna need size information too. there's a form to copy at the top of this ID section copy and fill out that info. Better pics too

You can disturb her a little especially if she don't have eggs.

id say 20 millimeters, a little bit bigger than the length of a penny

body is completely black but like 2-3 of those yellowish stripes on her butt got a good look when she was eating some honey 

bad pic again sorry xlA8eOE.jpg

I'd say it's a good bet for C. pennsylvanicus. I don't know anything else that size. does she look like my Avatar?
