Hello calluna, it's a couple of Sepsis, not Pepsis which is the biggest one of Hymenoptera! Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to find the species of these Sepsis without a sharp image of the male's fore tibia. Greetings, Eric |

Sorry Eric, of course I ment Sepsis. Does it matter that I can mention that this copula was found just above fresh dung of a Badger? I made a lot op pictures so I wil look for a better picture.
