Auplopus carbonarius a member of Mud-nesting Spider Wasps Tribe Ageniellini, lackford lakes at 1.4 Magnification. According to Wkipedia
The flight period in Great Britain is June to August, during which the females construct a nest of barrel-shaped cells in which spiders are stored and the larvae develop. There can be as many as ten cells in a nest and the prey often has its legs amputated to make it easier to carry either by flight or more often by crawling along the ground
