They don't appear to have stingers so that rules out wasps?

I've been told not. I've enquired on 3 separate id forums and they all seem to be saying the same thing.

Hi, My guess would be a Digger Wasp, but to confirm, if you send an image to the Royal Entomological Society at www.royensoc.co.uk/identifying-insects they will give you a definitive answer. Good luck

Well I got a reply today, they were able to give me an ID from the images I submitted. Hi, My guess would be a Digger Wasp, but to confirm, if you send an image to the Royal Entomological Society at www.royensoc.co.uk/identifying-insects they will give you a definitive answer. Good luck

Your insect appears to be a solitary wasp from the genus Croosocerus. The females burrow into dead wood, lay their eggs and provision the growing larvae with small flies and other insects.

So thanks for the link Mick 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
