Hello,

This wasp (Symphyta?) I found a few days ago in my garden.

Has anyone got suggestions for a positive ID?

Thanks!

Yes. Could be Argidae, Arge sp, but I would need a dorsal view to confirm the shape of the antenna. There are many similar species, so species level id might be difficult.

Hi Gabor,

Argidae is a very good suggestion. Unfortunally this is the only picture I have, so further ID, I guess, is out of the question.

Thanks!
