Both punctuation of the notum and golden-red color of scutellum supports H. ardens - I think :) Best regards, Henrik ( H. jucundum , a species with somewhat similar coloration, is different, among other things, in both of these aspects. H. krajniki is more like ...

Again, great pictures - it looks very much like H. ardens to me, and if it was in Sweden I would be sure it was. I do not know if you have other species in Czech Republic which it can be confused with however. From the cropped picture it is obvious ...

Nice pictures!

It is undoubtedly a Hedychridium, and I would also guess at H. ardens, however the punctuation dorsally on the mesosoma ("thorax") is important - do you have a more high resolution crop of the last picture you could post?

Hi! It looks like Hedychridium ardens to me (though I am not an expert!).

Good evening everybody,

the season of Chrysididae has finally begun in the Czech republic so I was able to capture some specimens yesterday. This one was quite small (5 mm), flying around a sand dune in South Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Can you help ?

Thank you, David

Ahoj Davide,
opět moc pěkná fotografie a jen se chci zeptat zda jsi dostal můj email s reakcí na Tvé fotografie na webu. Pokud ne, tak Ti chci jen pogratulovat k opravdu velmi dobře zvládnutým fotografiím, které mi velmi připomínají mé vlastní, což u nás v ČR není až tak obvyklé:o) Jen tak dál. Pavel

Hi, I think it is a Hedychrum rutilans DAHLBOM, 1854, female. (But I am not an expert!)

(Very nice pictures!)

Kind regards,

Henrik

Good evening to everybody,

could the specimen on the photo be Hedychridium ardens ? Captured on 18 July 2012, Southern Moravia, Czech Republic.

Thank you, David.

Hi Paolo,

ganz herzlichen Dank für all deine Bemühungen.

Viele Grüße,
Horst

Hallo Horst,

I think they are all Hedychridium ardens (Coq.)

Nice pictures!

Viele Grüße,
Paolo
