At a superb site, Salto de Roldan, near Santa Eulalia de la Pena, province Huesca, Spain. Plant ID is still on my to-do list, but obviously a yellow umbellifer.
There were other chrysids on the same flowers, possibly the other sex, but I'll post them separately to not confuse the ID process
Huesca, you say? What other interesting species have you found around there? Because I'm soon heading for Spain - sure, it's supposed to be a professional trip to do insurance quotes for these villas for sale in Barcelona, but hey, I'm free to do what I want on my way back - and would like to spend a couple days hiking in the Pyrenees. Is it legal to camp there, or should I stay at a hotel or private camping lot for the night?

Well, I used the Crossbill Guide to the Spanish Pyrenees, which has a lot to say about geological background, flora & fauna, hiking suggestions, and practical travel information. I was looking mostly for plants, but here (Salto de Roldan), on this large yellow umbellifer (Thapsia villosa) I found many insects, not only chrysids.
