 As nobody says anything I tell you that it is a male Riponnensia splendens to me. But I am not an expert.

Let me check my bibliography tonight to see the situation and species of Chrysogastriini in England and I will give you a definitive answer then Wink

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
