Chrysid parasitic on Hoplitis

[Euchroeus]

Thank you so much Ian for sharing this super interesting pictures.

The chrysidid is Chrysura hybrida (Lepeletier).

Please can you tell me if someone can ID the Hoplitis to species level?
It is a very interesting biological information.

Cheers
Paolo

Many thanks Paolo. I'm pretty sure its Hoplitis adunca though I haven't got my identification resources here with me (on holiday). I will let you know if that ID changes.

Thanks

Ian
