I'm not sure what it was doing on the ground. It would keep moving while opening and closing its wings.

@angmarrob this lady is looking for scarab beetle larvae (curl grubs) which you must have in your lawn. She will dig them up; sting and lay an egg inside each one; her larvae will consume the curl grub; then her larvae will pupate (undergo metamorphosis) until such time they are ready to re-emerge/eclose in their adult form😊
