My wife took the first photo at Sandwich Bay, Kent at the end of May this year, and I can't find an ID for it so far so any help would be much appreciated.
I suspect it may be a Digger Wasp of some kind but not sure.
We have Ectemnius sp. in the garden but this one is different with its distinctive yellow spots.
I have also attached a second photo, a shot of one of our Ectemnius wasps if anyone is able to narrow it down to a particular species, that would be also appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Adrian
