5'000 tokenz up for grabs

[skyblue]

I went on google and I found a similar looking wasp which had the name: Ectemnius Lituratus

But the more I stare at the two pictures the less sure I am that they look alike.

How big was the wasp?

i'd say just over a cm

 

[Abcinthia]

A common wasp (aka Vespula vulgaris if you want to get into Latin)

I found this, which is what I'm basing this wild guess on: http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds2/insectswaspsidentification.htm


Anyway this is my last guess. I don't know anything about wasps lol

It's an English Man Eater! :willy_nilly:

But if it's only eating men than I'm going to be just fine :cool

heres how it works,i simply want this wasp identified,the first person who gives me a definate identification gets the tokenz

of course i could post it on a relevant forum and find out in minutes but this way is more fun

It looks like it could be one of these two.. I can't make a very good assessment because the wings are closed and I can't see more body details..
Based on what I can see, I'm going with the first one..

Having been attacked and bitten by more than 200 subterranean ones three years ago, after stepping on a nest, I'm completely freaked out at this moment :willy_nilly: :willy_nilly:
I would keep comparing photos and looking at more pictures for you, but I'm going nuts scratching!.. :ninja

This is a good site ~huge!~ for identification of bugs from the US and Canada, so the species you have in the UK could vary a little.
Good luck with your search!.

I just replied to this on the other thread..

++++++++++++++++

NOW... in regards of the wasp...

I'm pretty sure one of the links I gave you will point you to your wasp...

I think you changed your mind because it's hard to part with those tokenz... :eek

It's the second one for sure.

It's the second one for sure.

i looked at wasp pictures and found about 6 species that look identical to this,even lordv didn't know which one it is,,ans with the none existance of a british wasp society i'm thinking that using a wasp was a mistake....hence the other thread i made
