Is this just a female Microchrysa polita or maybe a female Ch. formosa? I do not remember the size unfortunately, and the two species are rather similar.

I'm inclined to think formosa with this one.

Paul, Tony, thx for your opinions. I was also wondering whether this is Ch. formosa. The abodomen seems to be slightly shorter in proportion to the head and thorax in Ch. formosa females compared to M. polta females.
