Gasteruption jaculator

Latimeria you cleared it well...

Just to throw this in: that thin filament at the end of its abdomen isn't a tail, but an ovipositor. Looks like you've got a female here!

I find most interesting Lead footed type of its rear long legs...!!

Cheers Ashish :-)

Yes Eric...we must learn with such discussions..!!

Not squabbling @ ecoherence. We all help try to ID species here right Ashish?

Favoring Gasteruption jaculator more because its hind legs are club shaped, and when in flight, abdomen is upright. When resting, wings are folded below abdomen. :-)

Guys do not squabble, i think that Eric Noora is right, Gasteruption jaculator differs from ichneumon wasps by its lengthy neck, but not so lengthy than Megarhyssa greenei, and especially with the white tip ...
And it's also a specie of Europe, so...
Maybe it's not exactly this specie, maybe a mutation, but waw in 1 hour we found what is the most likely! So thanks to all!

Eric you might be closed... Ichneumon Wasp (Megarhyssa greenei)

Guys you may want to consider Gasteruption jaculator which is different from Ichneumon Wasps. :-)

You're right auntnance123, it's an Ichneumon Wasps, but i don't know which one... You know with the global warming is surely a specie of Africa in the south of France ...

Have you tried the ichneumon wasps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichneumonoi...

Yes Ashish i thought about an ammophila, but it's have a really big big tail...

Yes definitely strange....
And you can see it crosses it's 6 legs during the flight!
and on the last picture we can see also it's "beak" ...

Mud dauber wasp..?

Is that his tail in the last picture! It is strange!
