Hallo
I am new in the forum.
I'm a herpetologist, but i'm also interest in enthomology and nature-photography.
Last weekend i was in Leuk, Kanton Wallis, Switzerland. We make somme pictures of 3 different Cuckoo-wasps.
I think the big one is Stilbum cales, but i have no idea, what kind species the others are.
Can somebody help me?

Thanks Urs

:welcome: Urs!!!

Thanks for your beautiful pictures!

You're right, there are 3 different species and the first one is a male of Stilbum calens (Fabricius).

In the second and third picture there is a male of Chrysis scutellaris Fabricius,

in the last one there is a specimen of Chrysura cf. dichroa (Dahlbom).
