Hello, Brian!

Nomada sp. (Apidae, a kleptoparasitic bee, normally not identifiable after a photo, many species on the wing in spring).

Thanks Juergen.
Looking on the web at various species of the genus Nomada I have found Striata as being a possiblity.

Can anybody confirm that this (http://agrozoo.ne...ver=104718) is allso nomada, and if, which species ? I mean what is the main difference beetween apidae and vespidae ?

Hi,
The three pictures are not Nomada. This is a Vespidae (look at the way the wings are folded).

Thanks.
My best guess is now Polistes gallicus.
