My first Wasp Beetle.

Hi Darrin.  Where (geographically) did you find this?  I had never seen one until last year and then saw literally 40 or 50 exactly like the one (two !) in your picture (in France).  I believe they are Plagionotus arcuatus  which is the Yellow-bowed Longhorn.  Then literally 2 weeks later by complete coincidence I found the UK Wasp beetle Clytus arietis (in the UK).  They are unbelievably alike.  C.A.  has three spots at the top of the wingcase and the first stripe is a chevron.  P.A. has (as yours) 4 spots and the first stripe is broken - oh yeah and long orange antennae. 

That's my best guess but as always I welcome being corrected - every day is ……….

Berlin, Kladow. They were on some black locust logs.

 

They are great to find - catch you out at first.

 

I would defn go for the Longhorn then - mine were running (very fast) all over a large fallen oak.  Got one to slow up long enough for a pic (second photo).   First photo is a (terrible) picture of the UK one showing the different markings.

Thanks for your likes.  Can anyone help me out on #4 ?  About 12-15mm on an old oak trunk.  The rest (as I'm sure you guessed) are : Broad-bodied chaser (I'm sure we've all experienced those at some point!) ; Marbled Fritillary ??? ; Drinker Moth ; ??????; and Red and Black Leafhopper.  Also saw a Glanville Fritillary and a Stonefly and happy, happy days my Golden Orioles arrived back today as well.  Who knows what tomorrow brings ?
