Hi Eric and empeejay

Thanks for your help in IDing this.

I saw this here https://species.nbnatlas.org/species/NHMSYS0000899805
last night but except that the rear legs were not the same.

I should also mention that many pictures show white banding of the antenae
is this a variable?

I find these wasps incredibly difficult. I am presuming that the rear legs are
more variable and the markings on the thorax and head are more diagnostic?

Can you point me in some sort of direction on these?

Yours

Gareth
