 Found wandering in the grass. Larger than common wasp worker (15-20mm body length). Knowing that only mated females survive the winter could it be a common wasp queen (Vespula vulgaris)?

Thanks,

 But V. germanica is not supposed to have the black bar in the face, just three dots.

 Most probable is it V. germanica.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
