Ichneumon Wasp (Callajoppa cirrogaster)

It doesn't really come across on the video, but this wasp was huge!

I was able to follow it in the air as it flew across a large London Park straight towards me before landing almost at my feet.

Definitely one of my highlights of the summer thus far.

Have a gander for yourself:

  I really can't claim any credit for this.
  
  It came straight at me.
  
  If my mouth had been open (it rarely isn't) I'd probably have choked on it! :-) Posted 3 years ago
