| | | Identification of this hornet type insect
We found this dead on the grass this evening. Looks like a black hornet type insect, but would appreciate a proper id.
Found in Hampshire. Wing tip to wing tip 60mm.   |

Evening Henge, and welcome to WAB! 
It's a Sawfly, and possibly from the Cimbicidae family. An expert should pop-by soon...
Take care, Jason  |

Would it be the Birch Sawfly Cimbex femoratus by any chance? |
