User's notes
During this now wet season, today monsoon weather, heavy rain we have here at the moment;
came into our apartment, presumably for shelter from the heavy rain.
Insect – I guess a wasp ?
Body until antennas ca. 13mm long – with antennas ca. 15 mm long.
Please assist with identification . I really appreciate asisstance .
I moved it back outside onto the balcony on a good grip fabric surface still under plenty of shelter .
Better daylight for making these photographs as well .

Thanks Sam. I have suggested Lophyrotoma interrupta. If you are not sure, I could confirm it as Lophyrotoma sp. (genus).
