This was also quite a small species, approx. 5 mm.

Something like Chrysura hybrida ?

by **gbooth** » 05 May 2022 09:58

I do not think so, I found it smaller and thinner

Another view that may help

Could it be a Spintharina versicolor, perhaps a male? But not very confident; haven't seen a chrysidid for months...

Thanks Brian, when I saw it I thought that it may be a Spintharina of some type.

this is Chrysis gracillima aurofacies, Spintharina is much broader and not as contrastingly coloured

Alex, thanks for the correction!
