Hello!

I am afraid of that it may prove to be an undeterminable ichneumonid again, but who knows?
Found in my garden, rather smaller sized>>~1,5-2cm?

Looks like Symphyta, not an ichneumon Smile

I think Cephidae!
Radial Cell subdivised, tibia 1 with spur!
Compressed abdomen dorso-laterally!

... otherwise, is the spur on tibia 1 distinctive for cephids?

Apparently it is a pest in orchards with apples and pears!
