This wingless wasp had me fooled for a bit - it looked like and ran like an ant but on closer inspection the whiffling antennae were the first thing to give away its wasp status. 6mm Body length. Photographed yesterday, 01/02/2017 in Cape Town, South Africa. Any assistance in progressing the ID is appreciated. 3 Pictures attached Best wishes Philip Flippie attached the following image:  [190.15Kb] |
