ynot Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Is this from the same miocene lake deposit? What is the size? (Please include this information in all threads.) Looks like a wasp.

fifbrindacier Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I agree with Tony, the antennas look wasp-like, but according to its size it might not be a wasp but another hymenoptera.
