Hi, Recently I found the dead body of a slender black and yellow wasp. The legs were damaged, but the overall impression is still good so that an identification should be possible. I photographed the wasp under a stereo microscope, the scale gives mm distances. Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [136.77Kb] Edited by Sundew on 13-10-2007 22:39 |

Well, friends, I photographed a lot of Mellinus specimens (mostly hunting females), and they all had more yellow bands on the abdomen, so that black and yellow areas were about fifty-fifty. This one appears black with only one prominent (discontinuous) band, two lateral spots and a yellow tip. Is there such a great variability? Greetings, Sundew |
