I posted this a few days ago, thinking it was some sort of wasp. I also put it on FB.
Several folks responded that it was a moth that imitates wasps or hornets. A friend suggested I post it to iNaturalist.
The consensus is:
Raspberry Crown Borer Moth
Pennisetia marginata
Also got a comment that this is the first time one has been reported on iNaturalist for the Surrey, BC, area.
I know I am going to learn a lot by having joined up! I’ve posted nearly 100 photos with observations already, just by going back through my blog for three or four months.
I have been assimilated by the Borg .
