Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
Fantastic shot Andrea. I've seen these before but I couldn't tell you their name :)
Great closeup of this unknown!!!
One of the wasp family I reckon. Nice shot.
Wonderful capture very strange creature
in dutch it is named a "little caterpillar-killer" ( kleine rupsendoder) beautifully captured
I think the one you mention has orange on the body, and this one didn't!
Oh I saw something like that in our garden too. Great you did an upload of it Andrea, I too had no clue about the identification.
At first I thought it was a sunburned grasshopper but Juliette put me on the right track. From Wikipedia: The small caterpillars killer (Ammophila campestris) is a vliesvleugelig insect from the family of the long shaft excavation wasps (Sphecidae) . [1] The scientific name of the species was first published in 1809 by valid Latreille Terrific close up of this mysterious stranger.
Beautiful shot.
Carefully balanced, in many ways. Super capture
No idea, but it is a great shot, and an insect unknown to me.
Very good closeup of this fellow; I don't think I've seen this one.
An excellent macro capture of this tiny bug!
Excellent capture, bravo.
So festive! :) Nature comes up with such beautiful colors.
cool micro
Great macro.
Very interesting insect - well found and captured.
Can imagine this fellow in a marching band. :~p
Wonderful capture of this stinging beast.
What an interesting wasp thing! I think the name caterpillar killer sounds so brutal for such a striking insect. Your "Orange thighed wasp" sounds far better! Superb find and shot!
