I would like to know wich species this is. I think Hedychrum, maybe male and female but I'm not sure.
Location: Parco Alpi Maritiimi, Northern Italy. 12-07-2012. About 6mm. I'm not sure.

Nice pictures,
but sorry, I cannot ID them.

Did you collected them?
If you preare these Chrysidids it would be more easier.
Or do you have other pictures from other point of view?

Cheers

Paolo, Thanks for your reply. We go back tomorrow to the same spot so more pictures would be possible. What are important marks that I have to photograph? They are very fond of the plants you ee in the picture. So I only have to wait and make pics (;-)

This is the only other picture I have from the one below, but I'm afraid that that doesn't help much :?

Argh,

this time seems to be a mission impossible :D

The first specimen could be Chrysis germari Wesmael, but the second one is not clear.
Based on habitus, colour and it's presence on Alpi Marittime I would say Chrysura simplex (Dahlbom).

I cannot help you more.
Cheers
Paolo
