Re: Any ideas
I have also been a little baffled.
Firstly I thought it was a fly, but flies have only one pair of wings, this has two.
Then there is the stinger.
The insect is clearly dead and has lost some of the colour pigments.
I'm still baffled but guess it is a bee or waspCanon EOS R6 Mark II, Canon RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1L, Canon RF 24-105mm f4L

Re: Any ideas
It looks like a hornet to me - they can grow to a fair size.
