Spider wasp - Arachnospila trivialis Quite difficult to identify this species. I have checked all 93 Pompilid species recorded in Greece and came to the conclusion, that this is the best match. Very busy wasp, didn't stay calm even for a fraction of a second. It took me quite a long time and big efforts to make only a few sharp photos.
