What is this bug?



Kind of furry like a bee but bigger and longer and not exactly like a wasp.

Ok now identify my wasp. It looks like a pseudomasrus vespoides. It could be related but it does not have clubbed antennae and the eyes are the wrong color.

Chaindropz,

Yes that is my wren photo. He did not like the close up. The Irish have a strange history with this bird that was a suprise to me. The line beside the picture is part of a poem I think.

What I want to know is, does this Bumble Bee Mimicking Moth copy the Bumble Bee right down to the stinger? Just curious.
