Hi Pietsje,

this is the male of Chrysis scutellaris Fabricius, but it is surely longer than 6 mm ;)

Ciao
Paolo

Thanks Paolo! It is difficult to estimate size :? If you''re interested in what I found: http://observado.org/user/photos/50326? ... 12-07-12&a[]=0&sex=0&k[]=0&s[]=X&genus=&sure=0&exo_not=0&exo_only=0&fam=0&jaar=0&groep=0&prov=0&sort=date&seasons=0&validatie=B&maand=0&specie=0&stars=0&q=&list_in_lat=0&z=1&page=1

I''m with a professor of Naturalis Leiden, The Netherlands as his assistant to check for Gasteruption wasps. But you have such beautiful species here that iI can not help myself :slurp:
