Postscipt: one of the first things i found was a post of yours from last year with some nice clear images. Your suggested identification looks good!

Hi Brian,
this specimen should be Hedychridium krajniki.

Hi, thanks for your response. Interesting! I do recall a chrysidid with green metallic legs recently but cannot remember if it was otherwise like this one. Will have to check my other photos. Meanwhile I hope someone familiar with the Italian fauna will reply! Thanks again, Brian.

Hello, all my H. ardens specimens have green metallic legs, not yours. So I think it is not ardens..; but wait for another opinion...

... couple more ID requests to post. This small chrysidid looked much like Hedychridium ardens that I have seen at home in England. My question is, is it safe to call this H. ardens ...

Thank you Paul!

... found in the traps : Pseudomalus auratus, Hedychrum gerstaeckeri, Hedychridium ardens, Trichrysis cyanea, Chrysis viridula, Chrysis fulgida, Chrysis immaculata, Chrysis schencki, ...

Thanks!

Hi Petra
I would agree with Hedychridium ardens.
All the best
Paul
