Hi Pentti, these are Stratiomyidae - Pachygastrinae. On which tree did you find it?

Greetings, Eric

Tree is Pinus sylvestris.
Thank you Eric!

Best regards,

species identification depends on the relative size of the anal hairs.

Thanks atylotus! And the first thoracic segment is in some cases important, too. Most probably we see Zabrachia tenella here. Compare BEUK, P. L. TH., 1990. THE OCCURRENCE OF ZABRACHIA TENELLA IN THE NETHERLANDS (DIPTERA: STRATIOMYIDAE). - ENT. BER., AMST. 50 (8): 101-106.
