This small wasp appeared in my garden (Sollies toucas - Var - France) on an Ivy leaf for a few seconds, I found it small (maybe 5 mm) and the ID proposed on iNaturalist (by Villu) is Chrysellampus sculpticollis.

I know that the photographies are not excellent
I prepared an album with all the available photographies https://img.gg/c92EjVV
in case that any detail could help, if useful, I will add any of these photographies to this forum as an attachment on your request...

Thank you in advance for your Identification.

Hi Bernard,

yes, super

I fully agree with Villu, Chrysellampus sculpticollis female.

It's generally rare, although it may be locally abundant.

As I wrote (2005), I think that in MED countries this species is bivoltine, but Martynova & Fateryga (2014) considered this species in Crimea as monovoltine with small facultative generations.

Cheers

Wonderful !
Thank you very much for this confirmation and details.
