Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
Very brave to keep it on your skin, most people react hysterical only when a wasp is spotted. But yours was amale anyway
and in contrast to social wasps, which sting basically for defence, solitary wasps sting only to capture and immobilise prey
Pompilidae, likely Homonotus ruficornis
