Wasp digging

[jm2]

Shot this wasp digging a tunnel by vibrating it's head, just like a hammer drill.

A big 'orrible scary one by the look of it!

Great pics by the way & sorry I can't be of any help

It looks very much like an Ichneumon wasp. Quite harmless and great subjects.

Very well photographed too.

Thank you both, I have found out it's a Thread-Waisted Wasp, it was only just over an inch long.

Superb set. Even better that you have recorded a facet of the wasp's behaviour.

Ahh, new one to me. Does look veyr much like an Ichneumon but they're normally about 10mm in length .

Good stuff.
