      The photo by Martin IMHO shows a male Trichodes crabroniformis. Not quite sure about the photo by Wildflower, difficult angle for me .. could be either ... will try to see if I can make out which one it should be ... at some point ...
      P.S. Assuming the dorsal image is the same critter, her ID should be good, so we're looking at a different species here

              The sorry was not for the contents, but for the clumsy "inserting it as a PS above your answer" making the order of things "weird" ;o) Posted 6 years ago
