Bee or wasp...?

[Paul Iddon]

(Image heavy)... On a cool evening tonight, between 7.40pm and 8pm, I had loads of time to get some nice photos of this beauty - which looks like it has had a run in with a spiders web... I was able to get lots of angles as it sat on a leaf, and I eventually popped it onto a rose flower, not sure where else I could place it.

That's what I'm thing - possibly one of the Vespoid Wasps (Tiphiidae maybe).

The cool air seemed to make it lethargic, or maybe it was tired from a fight with a spider (see the bits of web) so it was easy to get the poses Nick.
