Any help for this one? Found in northern Denmark i a colony of Philanthus triangulus, and therfore suspected H. rutilans. I've had a suggestion for H. ardens as well.

Hi Martin,
sometimes the size of the animal is useful.
In my opinion it could be H. ardens, the shape and coloration of the head seems to fit.
All the best Paul

About 7 mm but not sure.

H. rutilans madde between 8-10mm. I think it is Hedychriium sp (ardens or coriaceum).

Here is a picture of H. ardens for comparing. Animal size ca. 5,5mm.

Hallo everyone,

I also think that it's Hedychridium ardens,
which is a very variable species.

Cheers

Thanks all. It'll go down as ardens.
