Deer Stalker
,
thank you so much for your reply, alas - No. It was properly like a gigantic wasp, I just wish I had taken a picture of it before it was sent on its journey.... the stinger was not visible on the outside of its body, until it went to sting the egg flipper!!
and when it was resting on my lamp, I think it liked the light, its back legs seemed to be together a little like a grasshopper's.....
