Chrysis.net Forum

I'm not sure if I'm correct. Is it possible to id this beautiful Chrysis? There were two species in my garden today (I presume). One of them Pseudomalus violaceus (I think).
Pseudomalus pusillus (?), today in my garden, the southern parts of The Netherlands.

Hi! Welcome back!

This is a beautiful male of Pseudomalus violaceus (Scopoli).
It is often green to greenish or green-bluish, in contrast with the violet or bluish colour of the females.

Cheers

Paolo, thanks! I didn't think about it that it could be the male (and therefore a slightly different habitus).
