It's great to see amazing pictures of the species occuring around Soria!
Looking forward to more eye candy!

WOW,

as usual ... simply the Best.

Ok, your ID are correct, Thibault is right, congrats to everyone.
After your Chrysis cortii there's a Chrysura sp. which is Chrysura simplex, the one without black spots on the second sternum.

For the identification of the second Chrysura sp. I need a picture of the thorax in dorsal view. Do you have it?

Cheers
Paolo

Hi Frank,

the second Chrysura sp. is Chrysura radians.



.....

What the hell
I have no idea of what is in your latest post ...



I need to work on this and probably some pictures of the prepared specimen will help for an ID ....

[Frank_Canon]

Thank you Paolo, I hope it will be possible to ID this species...
