Road wasp (Pompilidae), most likely Anoplius viaticus. Unfortunately, the color reproduction and sharpness are not very good...

But this is not the main thing.
Let me ask you, why do you call yourself a "Collector" and use those creepy stationery pins with a loop?

First, they are half as long as it takes to properly mount insects and pin geographical and identifying labels.
Secondly, they rust quickly.
Third, they are simply too thick and blunt, and you use them to spoil objects.
Finally, the loop often catches on foreign objects of clothing or fingers, and the dry object simply breaks.
I understand that there are not always and everywhere real entomological pins. So use at least thin sewing needles. But not office pins.
And more. Not all insects require spreading like butterflies. In particular, hymenoptera do not need this. You're just wasting your time and taking up space in boxes. In addition, such a crackdown often interferes, since because of it, some defining signs are not visible.

and the image is bad, because my soap dish is already about 7-9 years old!
my grandmother takes away needles from me=(

, and I can't find thin ones anywhere, but I don't feel
sorry for straightening,time and place(after all, in order for the works to be in a beautiful state, you need more practice, and if you don't straighten them, in my opinion they look ugly)

I would like to find someone in my city who could teach me, help me, and prompt me, otherwise it is difficult to be "self-taught"..(
