A wasp totally black.
Thanks Nina and Ashish for your suggestions!
Hi Daniela this is my spotting... From India.http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/130...
Try looking through genus Eumenes--which are potter wasps. I'm not certain which species live in your area, but the body shape looks very close to Eumenes fraternus... also looks close to genus Zethus.
Thanks Ashish and Uday for the suggestions. Hi Ashish, I've found that Wasp mimic bee are black and orange and are native to Australia. This wasp is only black.http://www.aussiebee.com.au/hyleoides_co...http://australianmuseum.net.au/Common-Wa...
