Yesterday, La Pe?a, Huesca, Aragon, Spain. Pre-Pyrenees. Habitat: board of a road in a mixed forest of Pinus sylvestris, Quercus x cerrioides, Buxus, Viburnum, Amelanchier and others. Under a stone.
Size: about 1'7 - 1'9 cm long. The wasp was never quiet and take the pictures was difficult. For good look, it can't fly because was early morning and cold.
