Mellinus Arvensis
Could be a good name for a new EV car...
Several around at the moment. It must be their time of year...

Hi Mark
We Downunder call 'em the European Wasp - and we're trying to wipe 'em out but with limited success
They swarm in their hundreds (seemingly) around dead locusts on the front of any vehicle, wanting the dead thing for brekky or lunch. Damn nuisances they are
However your pic is a goodie - nice 'n sharp too

Nice and sharp with excellent colour Mark. The black, white and green make a nice contrast.
I don't think this is our European wasp although I am certainly nothing like an expert. Our European wasp (Vespula germanica) is a social insect and this is a parasitic wasp (Mellinus Arvensis) that are normally solitary.

Very colourful and sharp Mark. At 420mm I guess you didn't want to get too close

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
