Nationally, this rare wasp is classed as RDB3 and there are few UK
records. he few that are listed on the NBN Atlas, are spread widely over
south-eastern counties and this Nottinghamshire
record from Netherfield Lagoons on August 4th
2019, is by far the furthest north. Gorytes laticinctus is
often
associated with areas of rough vegetation, such as around Brambles in
open situations. Our thanks go to Peter Smith (who found the species),
for once again kindly allowing us to use his photographs on the website. |
