Hello,
this fly from a hedge near a small creek (northwest Germany) measured about 10-12 mm.

Hi Jürgen, quite sure it's Phryno vetula: big, yellow legs, scutellum...

Hello Eric,
thanks a lot! I had that species already in April, but those specimens were smaller.

Phryno is rather variable in colouration and all endoparasitoids are variable in size. As long as you don’t go to the Far East, there is only one Phryno.
