Taken todaay South coast UK about 14mm body length (not inc ovipositor).
Thanks

Chris and Brian Pimpla cf. instigator. A very common species now out and about in great numbers in Ireland. Perhaps Camille will confirm.

Hmm, I thought about Pimpla but wasn't confident ... the (apparently) down-curved tip to the ovipositor suggested another genus like Apechthis.

I do not work this subfamily, but it seems to to me that it is Apechthis!

I am wary more and more of the sites with many photographs, often I find errors in the little which I know! Sad?

?Of the same Wikip?dia is criticized more and more and a new version for the definitions controlled by experts will leave soon!Shock?

?It is necessary to work in team, it is the only means of doing good work like here! Grin?

?Experts questioned for determinations forget to deepen judging that it is of secondary importance..... many taken again errors persist from one site to another! ?Sad
