Hi



Taken on 14th September in Silgueiros - Viseu.

Ammophila sp. Agree? Is it possible to reach specie level?
Thank you.

Hmm, I am not sure about Ammophila ... the abdomen doesn't look thin enough, compared to the ones I have seen.

Sorry, I stress in Ammophila sp. I have seen Ammophila with this size. It is compatible with features of a real Ammophila sp. But let?s wait for more opinions! Smile
Thank you very much! You have a tachinid fly to see! Smile

So... not Ammophila... Sad Today is not my day. Sad

What can I do see in this wasp to be sure about Sphex or Podalonia?

funerarius is a morbid word... Frown

So, Sphex is very similar to Ammophila!...
