Hi Paul
very nice pictures! On the third picture you also caught a rather rare longhorn beetle: Chlorophorus figuratus!

... pic like this I didn't expect... Of course: right you are! The added pic shows the snake before entering the hole where she was observed by the C.analis. Looking at the eyes you can see that she is very closed to moulting. After flying away the C. analis was caught by a spider net (next pic). ...

Gorgeous shots! I like the chameo of the Coronella austriaca
And the flying picture is great!

Hi Lukas and Paolo,

thank you very much for your kind comments!

best regards Paul

Wow!!!

Fantastic! The photo of the flying is crazy!!

Thank you, Paolo!

I've added a few quite more fresh.

All the best Paul

Hi Lukas,

it's a male of Chyrsis analis Spinola,
Chrysis graelsii has shorter malar spaces and a different apical margin of the abdomen (you can find some pics on internet)

Ciao!
