No idea what this is...2cm long and very elongated and sluggish. Nelspruit.

(It can fly!)

This is a small spider-hunting digger wasp of the genus Trypoxylon. Trypoxyline wasps are solitary and predatory, provisioning nest with paralyzed spiders (Aranaea) that is either constructed in the ground, or constructed from mud within sheltered situations, or in pre-existing cavities such as hollow stems, or old abandoned nests, or key-holes. Trypoxylon is a familiar wasp around human habitations and due to the frequent use of keyholes for nesting by some species they are commonly known as ‘keyhole wasps’.

I have not seen that insect, so am very impressed, RP.

As always, hat's off to Klippie and her extraordinary contributions here and elsewhere.
