とんぼをおいかけて・・ ～♪～

アキノノゲシの花の上で満足そうなハチ。キンケハラナガツチバチでしょうか、ヒメハラナガツチバチでしょうか。
A happy wasp on a flower of Indian lettuce, Lactuca indica L. Is this wasp Campsomeris prismatica or Campsomeriella annulata?


見分けるには体毛の色が決め手の一つらしいのですが、このハチはあまりに花粉まみれでわかりません。 (^^)
The colour of hair seems to be one of the key factors to differentiate between the two species, but it doesn’t work here because this one is completely covered with pollen (smile).
