This picture was taken in August 2007 in Gata/Spain a small village in the mountains (Sierra de Gata), The wasp obviously was hatching in a stone wall as she vanished between the same stones for several times. Could anybody identify genus? I tried in other forums but in vain.. Many thanks; Norbert Norbert attached the following image:  [55.8Kb] Edited by Norbert on 26-06-2008 07:46 |

Genus Cryptocheilus... Im'waiting an Id for one of the same genus posted here... The yours could be comparatus, or maybe spectabilis... |
