Tachypompilus ignitus
Orange Antennae, legs and wings.
Garden, Ivy
Spider Wasp found to have killed a Rain Spider and carried it from my house up into Ivy growing on my back garden wall (he must be very strong) where I suspect he has his home. He is an aggressive wasp and went for me when I tried to get close for a photo. This is the second time I have seen this.
that must have been an epic battle! what a photo and back story. thanks for sharing it!
