Hello
I've have identified this hymenopter as Pimpla sp. perheaps Pimpla rufipes (= hypocondriaca, = instigator) : length 14 mm, antenna 12 mm, terebra 4 mm, all black and legs red
Photo taken in NE of France, in september 2006
Is it really ?
Thank you
Louis

Looks like Pimpla to me too though I have a bad track record in Pimplinae recently. I'll try to compare with reliably specimens later today Robert

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
