Retsoor.... that isn't a wasp... although that is what it wants you to think.... it is one of the larger hoverflies.... a wasp mimic.
The antennae and single wings are the give away.... Chrysotoxum sp. [possibly C.cautum, C.arcuatum or C.verralli out of the 8 possibles]
Never be afraid to talk about your techniques...
