Hallo,

I found this insect in my garden in Zell am See, Salzburg, Austria.
Max. lenght 10-11mm The abdomen looks like the abdomen from a G. hastator.

Thank you for your identification

Niki

Hi Niki, This is an ichneumon wasp of some kind, so would be better in the 'other insects' area. Also, when you say "G. hastator" - what is the "G"?

Oh, yes, it?s my mistake, sorry. "G" = Gasteruption.
Yes, it?s a wasp.
Hi Paul, please transfer my thread to the right place, thank you.
Best regards Niki

Ahh, definitely not a Gasteruption sp. see http://chrisraper...at=0&pos=1 Smile

Gasteruption belongs to the evanoid group of wasps, which all have an unusual thorax/abdomen mounting point Smile
