Photographed this wasp today at Karnala near Mumbai. Had been to Karnala on a bird watching trip, but sighting this beauty made my day :)

Need ID help... From its behaviour, habitat and body structure, it seemed to be some species of Digger Wasp. The colours are unusual for a digger wasp though.

Camera Model Name Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE
Tv (Shutter Speed) 1/160
Av (Aperture Value) 5.7
Exposure Compensation -1/3
ISO Speed 100
Minor cropping and a bit of sharpening.

Thanks, C&C welcome.

The depth of field and colours are nice. I like the composition. No idea about the ID. Might have to wait for Vikram Gupchup here. :)
Thanks for sharing. :)

The low angle is nice. The colours have come out well. Wish the stone infront of it was not present. The habitat is nice. Thanks for sharing.
