MAMMOTH WASP - SCOLIA FLAVIFRONS - SCOLIE DES JARDINS


I found this beautiful insect today, June 16th, in my garden in SW France.
I saw it for the first time.
It was feeding on the Honeysuckle.
It was about 30 mm long. It is the largest wasp of Europe and may reach about 4 cm length.
Female has black and yellow head, whereas male has black head and is smaller.
