Thank you for your reaction and compliment Paolo!
Infact I could make a lot of pictures as it is a relaxed wasp, just enjoying the honey in the flower..
Is it a female..?

Regards,
Hedy

Yes, it's a female.

You can see the sex from the metallic colour under the hind femur, short hairs on thorax and general body colour.

Cheers
