Hi everyone!
I've caught these two specimen in the garden of my university (in Milan, Italy) on 29.06.21.
I think they could be male and female of Hedychrum nobile, someone can confirm my ID?

:thanks:

Welcome Alberto :welcome:

I didn't think that there are still cuckoo wasps in the garden of the Univerisity! :shock:
8-)

Ok, the first one is an Hedychridium of the roseum group.
The second is a female of Hedychrum, possibly nobile. You have to examine the last metasomal sternum and examine the shape of the median lamella, there are some images available in the forum.

Nice pictures,
:thanks:
Paolo
