Hi Con, another great photo, but this time it's a wingless wasp. Take a look at the following sighting for something that looks a lot like yours. Cheers, Jon

Thanks, Jon. I was discussing the image with my five year old grandson. He was particularly taken by the location of the eyes on the side of the head.
I had actually checked the image carefully to see whether it might be a beetle because it did not seem to be, in some indefinable way, totally antlike.
Anyhoo, happy with a wingless wasp!
