Looks like an evanoid wasp - perhaps Evania sp. ... but I'll let other more experienced people confirm or deny that  |

The evanoids are some of my favourite wasps but I have never seen an Evania in the wild  We get plenty of Gasteruption spp. here and in fact I caught a really unusual one yesterday in my garden ... it is really tiny (8-9mm head to tip of abdomen) so I am hoping it is G. minutum  (looking good so far). It has the same strange way of sitting with its wings folded down between the gaster and hind legs too
