Hi,
unfortunately I have only a bad picture of this wasp. Two days ago I found the big wasp in Saxony in Germany in our city park. Is it a Callajoppa cirrogaster?

Greetings,
Marion

You are right, Marion, and if I identified my findings correctly, it's a female. ("the antenna very conspicuously widened before the apex" - Perkins)

Thank you very much Eric for the confirmation of Callajoppa cirrogaster and the info that it is a female.
