Hi Kurt, I think it's a Braconidae.
EDIT: Habrobracon hebetor resembles your wasp quite well and it's variable in colour.

Thanks for your help Eric
It seems to be that spieces. It is not suppost to be known from Sweden. At least not under that name.

Hi Kurt, the wasps are traded as a pest control against the flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) and I think many of these escape.
