Spotted this horrid wasp like beastie on my window just now. Anyone know what it is please? It was about an inch long. OH persuaded it to fly out the open window.

Kate, I think it may be a Pimpla rufipes. Have a look at images for it and see if you agree. Not harmful to humans apparently, phew!

It looks like one of the ichneumon flies which are a kind of wasp. Harmless to humans.

Hi Shirley and Owdboggy, many thanks for your feedback!!! Very prompt, I appreciate it. I think you're both spot on. It's a definite ringer for the Pimpla Rufipes, from the Ichneumonides family. Thankfully it's not harmful, it did seem keen to escape!
