Found yesterday in Eindhoven.
I tried to find the ID, but did not succeed.
Thanks in advance

Yes. It looks like a Crabro species or something close (Digger wasps; Crabronidae).

Hello,

I don't understand on this photo how the fore femora are formed. What is this grey thing?

Anterior tibiae of the males widened at the Crabro genus

Crabro cribarius....

Thank you for your replies.
After the email of Jan, I had identified the wasp as crabro scutellatus because the abdomen is entirely black (no yellow area). Is it possible?
Regards,
Mariki

Do you mean abdomen or mesonotum? I can clearly see yellow markings on the abdomen...
