Hello,

Thank you for your help !

Hello Sandrine, welcome.

The specimen of your photo is not a Chrysidid, but a Chalcid wasp (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) belonging of the Family Torymidae, maybe to the species Torymus auratus (check this photo).

Chalcid wasps have very simple wings with a venation system that is quite different from the Chrysidids. Torymidae have a long ovipositor always exposed, while Chrysidids have a telescopic ovipositor.
