RAHEEL MUGHAL: Unknown insect from the UAE

Hi Jon.

How are you? As promised I attach a photograph of the unusual insect seen by my Uncle last July in the UAE. Could you or any of our friends at the CFZ please help to identify it.

Personally, I think it may belong to the Grillidae family of crickets, though I am not sure which species it may belong too. Please help. I look forward to receiving your reply.

Kind regards to all.

Your Buddy,

Raheel

    Evanioidea, a parasitoid wasp - ensign or hatchet wasp to give it a commonname. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Evania_appendigaster.jpg is a good example, not necessarily the exact species, but a close cousin at least.

    An Ensign or Hatchet Wasp to give it a common name. Evanioidea I'd say. Parasitoid probably.
