I found this Chrysis today (9-7-2023), southern part the Netherlands in a nature reserve. On a wooden pole.

Could it be a Chrysis inaequalis? Because of the dent in the forehead and thick ridge tergiet 2-3?

its a female Chrysis sp. in the ignita-complex, looks a lot like C. corusca, but could potentially be C. solida as well although the long T3 fits decidedly better with the former

Thanks ALex, Chrysis corusca is a very rare species in The Netherlands, C. solida is unknown (not as a species but if it's rare, common etc.).
