Re: Strange flying beastie
It looks like a form of Ichneumon wasp.

Re: Strange flying beastie
It's the back legs that are so different to any similar beasties...

Re: Strange flying beastie
We were out watching it again earlier... it loves the coriander flowers. The back legs dangle as it flies, and definately have large formations on them (unlike other ones that have thin legs). The legs look like the abdomen when in flight, whilst the actual abdomen sticks out like an "dart" that has pierced the beast's thorax at 45 degrees.

Re: Strange flying beastie
Hmmm Some exotic species from the sub continent me thinks. I blame global warming.
I have seen something like this before, never thought to take a pic.
Wasp family, Plecinid possibly.

Re: Strange flying beastie
Either Ammophila procera from USA or Colorful Sawfly from Japan are the nearest I can get.
