      Yes, a member of our Dutch critters forum knew the species from some smaller specimen and was confused by the size of a bigger one, thinking it must be different species ;o) Posted 7 years ago

The Wasp beetle

Clytus arietis, the wasp beetle, is a wasp-mimicking longhorn beetle species in the genus Clytus. It reaches 9–18 millimetres (0.35–0.71 in) in length, and flies well in sunshine from May to July, often visiting flowers for pollen and nectar.
