Is this a male braconid wasp? Round head and thorax appear to fit, but I have never seen one of this size.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mike

Hi, date and location could be useful...
But nevertheless I think it's a female
Alomya debellator (Ichneumonidae - Ichneumoninae).

Thank you very much Eric!
Your identification is clearly correct.
The date is 4/13/24 and the location is Pötzleinsdorf near Vienna, Austria.
This year many insects are active one or even to two months early.
Greetings,
Mike

Yes Mike, the same here, they are much too early - and this bodes nothing good...
