Hello,
This one is very small (Approx 4-5 mm). Looks like a Gymnosoma, but is it possible to find out which one ?
Seneffe, Belgium
July 7th
Thanks for your help
Philippe

It's hard to gauge scale ... and the distinction between
Cistogaster and
Gymnosoma is the length of the antennae (which we can't see in this photo). But I'd guess that it is most likely to be
Cistogaster globosa (male) but it might be
Gymnosoma nitens as an outside bet :)
Do you have any photos showing the antennae?

Hello Chris
Thanks, I believe you're right and it's Cistogaster. My only picture showing the antennae is lousy (to say the least) but it seems to show they are indeed rather short

Yes, I agree - those antennae are short ... the abdominal markings also match male
Cistogaster globosa better :)
