Hello,

Given the online information, I would guess Leopoldius signatus. A female based on the yellow bands on tergite 3 and 4 with three black incisions. But there seem to be very similar species?!

Northern Germany, Hildesheim, feeding on flowering Hedera helix, 28.08.2024
measured size about 10 mm

Thank you in advance,
Stephan
