A nice wasp in my garden again. 2-2,5 cm. Dark red in colour.
Urban environment, garden bush.
Great link in the ID suggestion!!! Thanks again Faredinho :P I think you rock today! But I think I have an ID for you as well... Stay tuned lol
Definitely, the patterns are mostly analyzed from the body part not the head! well but who know maybe is a common and easy one ;)
Thanks Injica for your comment :), too bad he flew away before I could take a photo from the side. I think this one will be tricky to ID.
Heh! I am happy that this lil fellow made you reconsider! I think his foreleg is in some strange position, partly under his torso. It is possible to see a bit of his foot in picture no one. He does not get an A in posing, that is fo sure!
