Mud-dauber spider-hunting sphecid wasp Mud dauber wasp - Sceliphron curvatum<br /> Unfortunately this is the only photo a managed to take of this interesting wasp. It is invasive to Europe. First records of S. curvatum in Bulgaria are from 1997, from central and south-west Bulgaria. I captured this one in Central Sofia.
