I have no clue what species this beetle is specifically, but I think it's part of the Clytus genus? Also hello, this is my first post and possibly my last!

Wasp beetle on elderberry, i used to think they were still very beetle like but seeing the picture as a small icon in my gallery i did wonder what wasp that was, good on you pall, good on you. I love mimicry !

Miss Elisabeth “Betsy” Miller - Captain
Betsy was born on 11th June 1792, as the eldest of ten children to a shipping family at Saltcoast in Ayrshire, Scotland and spent her childhood aboard her father’s ship. She took over office duties when her Brother John took as Master his duties of the Clytus the family brig.
The only known image of Betsy, probably from an engraving, original artist unknown.
When he drowned, she took over command of the ship as “ sailing master”, arguing “ Who knows her better than I do ?” Well, much of what is said about her today and what was written about her back then probably belongs in the corner of myths and exaggerated embellishments. And some things may be controversial but she manages to be recognized as a female Captain and Owner of the Clytus and to be listed in the official Lloyd Register.
'The Clytus' had a crew of 14 men and was built of material salvaged of a french man- o- war carried 200 tons of mostly coal to the Irish ports, then limestone back to Ardrossan.
The Clytus
Betsy proved herself a highly successful businesswoman. She continued to sail until she was 70, and then handed over command of the Clytus to her youngest Sister Hannah, retiring to the family home in Saltcoast. Where she died two years later on the 12th May 1864. Neither Betsy or Hannah had ever married.
You may now possess the bride.
