Ammophila procera
The Thread-Waisted Wasp paralyzes its prey by stinging it. Its larvae then eats its victim alive. Adults drink flower nectar and feed on small insects they catch in the open. Since many plant-consuming caterpillars are taken as larvae food, this insect could be considered beneficial to gardeners and farmers. http://www.insectidentification.org/inse...

Thank you so much Mark Ridgway. It is winter in your country now, so, may I still say "enjoy your winter"?
