Sorting through my macro shots from this year and have been unable to ID the following. Not sure if the first 3 pics are the same species (not taken at the same time), all about 10mm long. Sorry for the long post. Thanks Brian V.      |

Well, to cheer you up: Based on the colours of the hind femora, I think the first three images might well represent three different species.

To show my ignorance, I thought some of these "wasps" might be sawflies. The last pic I was certain was an icheumon wasp simply because it spent ages smelling (with it's antennae) the top of this apple before it decided there was still an apple grub inside- it then stuck it's ovipositor down an existing grubs exit whole. here's another pic of it "smelling" the apple  Brian V.

It is a species of Pristomerus, recognisable by the spike on femur 3!! I did a lot of work on African species, they can be important as biological control agent! By the way, the subfamily is nowadays called Phygadeuontinae!! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
