| |  Wasp ID?
I spotted this little blighter today. I'm sure it's a wasp, but my wasp ID skills are very shaky. It's about 10 - 15mm, location - Durham City. Can anyone help?  |

These wasps are a right pain in the you-know-what. I have so much trouble identifying them if I see them while out photographing I often look the other way and pretend there not there! lol   |

The commonest of this lot is Amblyteles armatorius, but there's probably a few similar species that differ by an extra hair on the hind leg
