In a Kabylian village for a few weeks (750m alt) in May 2023 I observed this wasp on the hot sunny wall of the house at sunny hours. (Ighil ALi (Bejaia), ALgeria)
I share it here in order to confirm the ID 'By Villu iNaturalist and because it seems to be rare

For This observation from May 2023 13th the wasp was unusually quite and allowed beautiful photographies 20 photos on iNaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/161416108

and another photo of the same wasp on FlickR https://flic.kr/p/2oBrd1C

within 2 months of discontinuous presence I observed it 6 times on the same wall, and it was generally very difficult to catch on the photo, because always moving. Only 1 observation, on the leaf of a lemon tree, in the same yard.
