Bee Wolf

This wasp, Philanthus triangulum, was previously considered to be one of the great aculeate rarities in Britain and is a Red Data Book insect. But in recent years it has become more widespread. It was first recorded at Rye Harbour in 1996, and has since become regular. The best site to see them is on the sandy tracks leading from the viewpoint at Castle Water out to the Castle.
