Look at this big, buzzy boi! No idea what it is, but it was massive, maybe 3-4cm. Anyone know what it is?

Picture not working.

But its going to be a woodwasp.

Its the one that always gets asked.

Edit. Picture working. Nit a woowasp.

Updated…don’t think it’s a wood wasp :/

I like ‘woowasp’ and if it didn’t exist it ought to.

The closest we can get is Entypus or Ichneumon but that is only a guess.

What country are you in?

Update.
Current favorite is a Carpenter Bee.

I’m in sunny Lincolnshire, nowhere too exotic.

Still got me stumped, tried numerous insect identifier things.

Gryllus campestris?

Can see a lot more Gryllus than Carpenter bee but the head seems too small and Gryllus have pointy bits sticking out the back end.
Might be a new type though bags we call it Gryllus unum semita if it is.
(I expect someone will be along to make me write out the correct Latin 100 times.)

Scoliid wasp?

Birch Sawfly – Cimbex femoratus

I think that’s the one!

Congratulations pipit, a box of Birch Sawflies is on its way to you!

Can I have some baby ones please, if you have any, thanks 🙂
