Pseudomalus triangulifer?

Postby xJochemx » 28 Apr 2018 23:09

Yesterday I noticed a small (+/- 4 mm long) cuckoo wasp on the bee-hotel in which many Osmia cornuta and Osmia bicolor are nesting. I cought the animal and managed to take a couple of pictures before it escaped when trying to take more detailed pictures. Is there any chance at putting a name to this animal? Someone on Facebook suggested Pseudomalus triangulifer, which looks similar, but I don't know if that could be certain.
Thank you kindly for your help!

Hi,
I think, that this specimen is probably what you were told, a Pseudomalus triangulifer.
It's not really sharp, but on the fourth pic the antennas seem to fit with this species.
Maybe Paolo can say something more.

All the best Paul
Paul
