Can you help me identify this wasp?

I took these photos in Franklin County Virginia on our land. The purple on the back of this wasp really captured my eye! Can you help me identify it?

I have shown you the habitat and then zoomed in on the wasp itself. Please share with us in the comments section if you think you can help! Thank you -SA.
