Ornate-tailed Digger Wasp (Cerceris rybyensis)

I have replaced a previous post on this species, because I found some video footage I didn't realise I had.

That video and enhanced species information can be seen here:

    Wonderful video! In the future (and in case you didn't know), you can edit a previous post to include the video link so that you don't have to delete and re-upload a photo. Posted 3 years ago

      Definitely, that approach saves time.

      What I can imagine though is that when the improvement is significant (such as in this case) we want to present it as if a new post, to give it renewed attention. Repromoting it is a good way, but you'd still need to know that the improvement happened.       Posted 3 years ago

      I did think of doing that, but as I was replacing the photo and moving the text to the video commentary, I thought there wasn't anything going to be left anyway!

      Plus, I thought it might not get picked up in the way a new post might?

      I try to avoid doing such things, but I quite like the video and didn't want to waste it.       Posted 3 years ago

        Sorry! You guys are totally right, so ignore my comment. I was thinking on a basic level of problem-solution. But, your reasons make sense! The video would likely have been missed by most people without your reposting the entire post. Posted 3 years ago
