Definitely H. rutilans which is now in Breckland so ought to be on the Suffolk Coast. This was the only Chrysidid I saw yesterday at Middle Harling Heath.

This is not E. rubicola but a different Ectemnius species, and unfortunately not identifiable from this image.

It looks like quinquefasciata to me, with shorter antennal segments with more extensive orange, and a broader face than ruficornis.

Does look just like filamentous algae which can resemble a nursery web when sun bleached, a definitely nitrogen rich water.

S. crassicornis has indeed turned up at Holkham this year, the second Norfolk record after one at West Harling last year.

Nomada argentata was recorded at Warham in 2020, but still a good record. M. haemorrhoidalis has not been seen at that site before.

Several species of ichneumonid wasp are documented as parasitising larvae and probably regulate the population. Trogus lapidator is a specialist parasite of swallowtails.
