thanks, thanks, thanks. I love when you make comments about my spottings, his education and information. I modified the ID.
Many species of both wasps and bees can be quite hairy. There is a group of Hymenoptera which includes bees and the sphecoid wasps (Sphecidae, Crabronidae) which can be recognised by the shape of the pronotum (which is often quite difficult to see). The following page shows the difference. Most wasps have the pronotum like the Vespoidea. http://www.myrmecos.net/2013/10/07/how-to-recognize-apoidea/
Thanks, John La Salle. I thought it was bee, because It has hairy abdomen.
Hi Sckel - It is a wasp not a bee. Either Tiphiidae or Scoliidae.
