Little Eye
Looking west from the Little Eye towards the East Bank at Cley
Eastern Sand Wasp (Podalonia affinis)
Silvery Leafcutter Bee (Megachile leachella)
You can clearly see the wing venation pattern in the fore wing.
It has two submarginal cells, the pattern of which seem to place it as an
Arachnospila sp?
But there are seven species that have a similar but subtly different pattern?
Ah but
There was actually even more of a clue to the id of this particular wasp.
And it did in fact turn out to be a wasp that has only recently arrived in Norfolk in the last couple of years.
A Pompilid Wasp (Spider Wasp)
Evagetes pectinipes
A cleptoparasite of other Pompilids, possibly of Episyron rufipes
Under a microscope this species also only has double not treble toothed mandibles.

Anne commented
The only thing I have looked at is the Forthy porecrust (Oxyporus latemarginatus). It’s definitely this, spores correct and matches description (but not photo!)
in Resupinates of Hampshire. If you google it you’ll see lots of similar pictures. Interestingly the other flat fruiting body next to it (that looked like an Antrodia)
was the same thing - and looked more like the photos in Resupinates of Hampshire. Obviously a fungus that has different forms of growth.
Tony M replied
Thanks for that Anne - I looked at Resupinates of Hampshire last night and like you thought the ‘other bit’ of crust was a dead ringer for the image in RoH for
Oxyporus latemarginatus – & it left me completely puzzled as to what the ‘main bit’ of crust was! Tony (M)

I took a piece of the Russula cyanoxantha/parazurea (Charcoal Burner / Powdery Brittlegill) home.
These two can be split on spore ornamentation & spore print colour (& reaction to FeSO4 which I don’t have). It was Russula parazurea.
