Your welcome Sergio! I'm not the best with Bees and Wasps but I can usually get it down to genus :-)

Sorry Fyn, in my last comment I meant Anoplius, not Pompilidae.

No, Fyn, no sand around. I looked at Google, there are several photos of Pompilidae, but no one has red legs.

I think I might have found the genus... not for certain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoplius
