5 June 2022. Val d’Arda (PC). I have not seen this one before and I’d love to know what it is, if that is possible. I was looking for a couple of other species, which did not appear, perhaps because of the strong wind, but this just arrived and was still a second. Cannot see the tip of abdomen well unfortunately. I wondered if the colour of T1 is significant? Grateful for any help!

Perhaps I was wrong that I have not seen this before? Is it in fact a male Chrysis frivaldszkyi? Paulo confirmed this ID for a very very similar chrysidid I posted here couple of years ago. I would be happy that I managed to remember this, but please confirm if possible!

I think impossible to tell 100% from this picture, it could also be Chrysis inaequalis, C. claricornis...

Frank, thank you for commenting. I expect you are right. I am don’t know those species you name and will check them out. Of course I don’t know many species at all! Perhaps Paolo will also give an opinion.
