Approx. 5mm long, we have 4 species of which one is extremely rare. E. funeralis, ornatus, sabulonum, strigatus. I can't make this one fit any of them.
It surely is Eumerus or have I got that wrong?
Taken in my garden, south of Lincoln UK on 31st August. Old woodlands and heathlands habitat.
2 pics only, I have cropped one of them making a third.
Janet :D

Not Eumerus, but a female Triglyphus primus!

Oh so B) Gerard! Thank you thank you thank you! :D
I spent hours looking for a genus, in the end the face profile and antennae suited Eumerus more than any but it wasn't quite right elsewhere!
There are only 12 records here since the year 2000!
