so ... the bait solution works!
did you prepare it with beer?

It's a male of Chrysis ignita, maybe in the next days, I'll tell you more.

Hi!

Another male: difficult to say, perhaps C. ignita B, but I am not sure. Characters in favour of this species are: large unctures on abdomen and pointed teeth at the end of abdomen. Nevertheless this is not enough to rule all others out, after all it is a male.

By the way I have also used solution successfully in Estonia to bait Chrysidids. Only my recipe was not that advanced. I just mixed honey and water and there was some fermenting going on in my bait bottle. Plain mixture of water and honey without fermenting did not work.

Cheers,
