Approx. 5mm long, we have 4 species of which one is extremely rare. E. funeralis, ornatus, sabulonum, strigatus. I can't make this one fit any of them.

It surely is Eumerus or have I got that wrong?

Taken in my garden, south of Lincoln UK on 31st August. Old woodlands and heathlands habitat.

2 pics only, I have cropped one of them making a third.

Not Eumerus, but a female Triglyphus primus!

Oh so Cool Gerard! Thank you thank you thank you! Grin

I spent hours looking for a genus, in the end the face profile and antennae suited Eumerus more than any but it wasn't quite right elsewhere!

There are only 12 records here since the year 2000!
