    Default Please Identify

    This little creature was on the soil in a plantpot,it was very dead but the markings interested me.Judging by what you good people have taught me so far, the fact that it has anntenae means its not of the fly family. Is it a bee or a wasp? (not that I want to offer my condolances, just interested)

    Very nice close-ups, I like them... but I suppose that it does help when they can't move doesn't it
