Hello,

is it possible to distinguish this one from similar species? What would I have to look for?

Thanks and regards,

Markus

Hi Markus, this is not a Diptera, as you are aware, so please post it in the"other insects" forum.

section...

I'm happy that you have an id, Markus.
cuckoo wasps can be difficult to id. The pdf is most helpful to me.

I hope that you have a Great Day.
