I took a photo of this yellow and black insect at West Dean Gardens near Chichester in West Sussex but have been unable to identify it and would appeciate help on the identification.
Thanks  |

Afternoon Lee and welcome to WAB! 
It's a Longhorn Beetle, Rutpela maculata. A good-sized insect.
Take care, Jason |

What a splendid Longhorn Beetle. I'm pretty sure it's a Black and Yellow Longhorn Beetle (that's pretty original!) Rutpela maculata. |

Strangalia Maculata is the synonym (former name) of Rutpela maculata. I agree with the ID. |
