Hello other insectsforum,

About a week ago I found a tiny female wasp on a thistle.
This female discovered this thistle groundly before placing her eggs.
I am not familar with this kind of wasps, but I think this is Cynipidae sp.
On the big yellow abdomen I can see a few black stripes, maiby this can help to identify this dificult group of wasps?
If you can help me any further, you are very welcome!

greeting, robert

Maybe even genus Bracon (?).
Best regards,
