6 June 2023, Val d’Arda, N Apennines, Italy. In rocky and well-wooded limestone mountains. This looked very bright red and green to the eye, and very large for a chrysidid. It appeared on a dead branch next to a track, and after very quickly running and flying, it came again, at least four times in an hour (or perhaps different individuals?). I think it must be a Chrysura. Can this be confirmed? Is it possible to suggest the species? I do not have a view of the sternites. Might it be Chrysura austriaca? It seems to have a very long face. Thank you for any help…..
