This is a female, Catocheilus sp. Not Thynnus zonatus. These have been misidentified in many places on the internet. Refer to recent revision of Thynnid Wasps- https://mapress.com/zt/announcement/view/56
Thynnus zonatus

Thanks, that's interesting, wouldn't have been able to tell it's a wasp. That makes sense though - I guess it's a wingless one staying put.

Of course. Thanks Jon. Seemed too large to be an ant enless a queen.
