Hi, Paolo!

Thanks for the welcome icon ;) and the confirmation of the ID :ok: ID wasn't mine but Jose Ignacio's ;) who encouraged me to upload my Chrysididae to this site for ID and confirmation. Hope to be able to provide some cool species and pictures :D

And thanks for the ID tips for the female. I will try to find her. I might even have pictures already ;)

All the best

Piluca
