Ruby-tailed wasp - Hedychrum sp.
A Ruby-tailed wasp on a daisy type flower just outside the Alpine House at RHS Wisley. Not possible to take to full species level but identified as a male Hedychrum sp., possibly Hedychrum nobile.
I've only seen one ruby-tailed wasp before and this is the first time I've managed to get a photo. This individual was very compliant staying absolutely still for some time.
