i need to identify a wasp that visited my friends garden . i have photo's but don't seem to be able to attach them to this message , could you please help??...
Hi, Is it possible to get an ID for this wonderful beasty. I think it maybe Ichneumon Wasps - Ephialtes sp I watched it as it hunted around some Birch...
I don't think you can attach anything to messages on the egroup. What you need to do is go to: http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/bwars/photos and set up a...
I think I can improve on Louise's comment: It definitely IS an ichneumon of some sort! Ther yellow antennal segments part way along the flagellum is a bit of...
Hi all you experts out there. I have uploaded 2 pics (in Martins Pics folder)of what I originally thought was a hover fly - taken on 10th August at Frogmore...

Hi Charles, Thanks for that, I thought you had it at first - nearest I'd seen so far, but when I checked some more images on Google I realised none had the...
Hi Martin, I am far from an expert, but I had posted pics of what I thought was Ectemnius cephalotes too. Nobody confirmed this, but do take a look at my pics...
Hi Martin , i originally posted the photo (assassin077) for id . i know very little of your site and to be quite honest its going a little over my head , so in...
Martin, in 'Files' named 'speciesmad', a folder within named 'Ectemnius sp?'. I'll try posting a link, but my liks usually end up on two lines for some reason!...
Guys It seems like we might possibly be getting our wires a little crossed here I have looked at the pics from Joe (Assassin077) and these clearly show an...
Janet The pics are of an Ectemnius - but it is not possible to determine these wasps to species level from photographs I'm afraid. There are 10 species in UK,...
Thanks Stuart, I guess it will have to remain just an Ectemnius sp. I didn't realise there was so many species here, seems to be very little info anywhere on...
Hi Janet, found them - was looking in "albums" rather than "files" - your ones look like the other 2 species that I ruled out for mine - much smaller antennae...
Sorry Joe, crossed wires I think - yours was an earlier and separate query, see thread below, cheers, Martin Martin Parr Tel: 01442 252137 Mob: 077 8333 6422 ...
Hi Martin, as Stuart says there are 10 Ectemnius species here which are very similar so it might be a tough call! I have several pictures of similar wasps,...
Maps are available by clicking on the required species http://www.bwars.com/maps_wasps.htm For fly ctching solitaries, you could try Mellinus arvensis, They...
Hi Stuart, thanks for the link, when I looked there was no Ectemnius listed, checked three times at least, now there's 10! Looks like the same list, lol, how...
Janet According to that only 1 species, Ectemnius cavifrons, seems to be in Lincolnshire although I'm not very far from the Nottinghamshire border, about 10...
Yep, points taken on board Stuart. I have checked out Mellinus arvensis and it looks correct, the pics on the German site show it with Pollenia sp. too,...
Now I know what wrong with the maps! I just looked at what came up, failed to see the different headings at the top for 'bees' 'wasps' 'ants'! Janet ... only ...
On a recent (end of September 2008) visit to Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk, I looked round the walled garden, in particular the once abandoned area now being reused...
Hi all, We've got a plant of the late flowering Escallonia bifida, and I've noticed that Hornets (and other social wasps?) use a very interesting hunting...
Hi All, I thought adult worker hornets (and wasps) could only feed on the sugar solution supplied by their larvae and that prey was taken back to the nest to...
