Hello!

Two days ago this ichneumon wasp visited a pond meadow surrounded with conifers in the Wildlife Park Maas Schwalm Nette Rivers in Germany near the frontier to Netherlands.

Could it be the Giant ichneumon wasp (Rhyssa persuasoria)?

And there was one hymenopterous insect, too. Could you identify this too, and its sex, if it is possible?
