| | | Is this a wasp?
Hi everyone, just going through our photos we took at the Wyre forest last weekend. We do not know what this is! At first I thought it was a field digger wasp, hubby thinks it may be a spider hunting wasp. Maybe it`s not a wasp at all!!!
Th  anks for any help. |

It's an ichneumon wasp. Could belong to the genus Amblyteles, but these insects are so confusing that anything's possible! Some ichneumons do resemble Spider-hunting wasps, but not this one particularly. |

Hi Oxycera, thanks for the reply. We have looked in several books but had not found anything that was exactly like it! He was very pretty & fluttered but not very far.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

It is indeed Amblyteles sp, very similar to Amblyteles armatorius but not quite the same species.
