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

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