Hello,
my pictures are from June 29, 2021 taken in our backyard in Hannover, Germany. This Chrysid was rescued from our rainwater tank. I think it could be a Holopyga lucida (?).

Thank you for your help!

Hi I made some more pictures (on the right side) and tried to compare them with pictures of H. lucida (on the left: http://www.entomologiitaliani.net/public/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=15212&hilit=lucida ) The size is around 7mm. Clipboard01.jpg Clipboard02.jpg ...

I found that the punctuation of the second sternite could be important for determination.
Are these pictures sufficient?
Thank you

Tim!

Nice pictures.

It is a female of Holopyga inflammata or Holopyga lucida. It's probably the first record of this species in your country.
