Thank you Alex!

looks good for C. impressa, but without a specimen it is very hard to say for sure

... At one point while in captivity her ovipositor was extended, which seemed long and narrow, but unfortunately I was too late to record it. Is it C. impressa ? best regards, Olger

Many thanks for your help, Alex!

female Chrysis sp in the ignita-complex, looks like it could be C. impressa but it's impossible to say from just photos

Female Chrysis in the ignita-complex, the thoracic colours and general shape points towards C. impressa but I cant say for sure

Does not remind me of Chrysis mediata, chrysidids are not very host specific, and can have many "non-main" hosts, as well as a propensity of inspecting any and all holes and nests they come across. This looks like C. impressa to me, but not possible to say for sure

another potential Chrysis impressa female, it's a very common species as you might gather

looks like another potential Chrysis impressa female, but can't be sure

female Chrysis sp in the ignita-complex, looks like a clear C. impressa specimen, both large, parallel-bodied and with the right colouration on the thorax - but saying for sure is not possible from pictures
