Field Notes

Description:

Very large wasp, 30 - 32mm length (estimate).

ID help requested for this one.

Habitat:

Adjacent to a small stream. Altitude 1000m.

Notes:

At first sight, a very scary looking beast, but it is non-aggressive and showed me no interest while shooting. I don’t see this creature more than a few times in a year and photographic opportunities are very rare.
