Species text
This is a large black and yellow solitary wasp nesting in dry soil and preying on Diptera including Therevidae, Stratiomyidae, Empididae and Muscidae. It is widely distributed north to Sutherland, but without any previous records for Essex (Harvey & Plant 1996). Despite relatively comprehensive fieldwork in the South Essex region the first records for Essex were made at Springfields Sand Pit (Orsett Camp Quarry) in 2003. References
