365 Days Wid - Day 363

A great walk at my nearest RSPB reserve this afternoon where, amongst other things, I watched this sabre wasp (Rhyssa persuasoria) laying eggs in a log pile.

Nice sharp focus. Not sure I would have wanted to be that close to him.

[Stephanie Swift]

Great find and focus. I'm sure she was too busy laying eggs to think about stinging you.

[Karen]

Great focus and detail.

It's called a wasp but this is just a type of Ichneumon fly, completely harmless to humans!

Great find and capture. Lovely detail.

[Ann Williams]

Wow, amazing detail and how on earth did you spot this?

[Louise]

@flowerfairyann I was looking in the log piles for beetles!

Great shot, so well spotted.
