IT IS a male. I think a Mutilidae wasp... Do you confirm this?
Genus ID please...

awkward mistaked again!

can you explain why? wing venation? I never seen a Thipiidae dive and dig in ground, until yesterday...

Thank you, proctross! You are awesome in hymenopters! You MUST be in future, perhaps, hymenoptera.info.

thank you! there is a dead link, and other leaves us to another genus, but we can get an idea.

So Tiphiidae family - Diamma sp. Smile

Diamma bicolor is so beautiful!!

Sorry this is not Diamma the sole member of the subfamily Diamminae and not found in Europe. Proctoss I am sure meant this as an illustration of the family but perhaps he will confirm. Sorry about the dead link also. Robert
Beautiful is right.Shame we don't have it.
