France, Dordogne. 14th April 2011. Deciduous woodland on limestone.
My first encounter with Caliprobola speciosa, they are stunningSmile
Males were seen in small patches of sunlight under trees and in late afternoon in more open areas. They trailed their reddish hind legs in flight as reasonable mimics of Polistes wasps.
