Posted: 11 Aug 2021 18:37Female of either H. niemelai or nobile. Cannot separate them without a specimen and microscope! But I am no expert, just someone who likes to watch and photograph chrysidids. Perhaps one of the experts will confirm.

It's a female of Hedychrum nobile.
In case of large specimens, they are only H. nobile.
It is more difficult to identify a specimen based on its size if it is about 6 mm, because you can always find small specimens of [i] H. nobile. [/ i]

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 22:39Hi Paolo, thanks for correcting my answer to Brianwillum! Good to learn about the size difference; I wonder if it holds true for UK populations because I have some images of large individuals that I can perhaps now call nobile!
