Who can tell me more about this Chrysid...?
Picture is taken 25-7-2009 on my finger in Zeist, Holland.
The third picture of this section is how I found it: sleeping around 4 o'clock p.m.

Regards,
Hedy

Hi Hedy,

it belongs to the genus Pseudomalus, but I cannot tell you more.
You can separate this genus for the sculpture on the mesonotum, with large punctures on the scutum.
