This insect was in my conservatory and I don’t remember seeing it before. Apologies for the poor quality photos.

    Black slip wasp, Pimpla rufipes:
    I consider them a friend as their main prey is the caterpillar of the Large White cabbage butterfly! :)
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thank you. I’m glad I had a chance of seeing it and now knowing what it was.

    Good to know isn't it ppatter? Fascinating what's all around us, working away, and we often know nothing about it!
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    That’s so true. We should take more time to notice things around us. 🦗🤔
