a female Halticoptera hippeus wasp of the subfamily Miscogasterinae found on Tutsan beneath beech in great Wood near Battle. Lots of detail pictures below are all viewable larger with a click and show the swollen (but smaller than the male's) maxillary palps, two annelli and six funicular segments, postmarginal vein slightly shorter than the marginal vein, and other details that accord with Graham's key. And don't forget to marvel at those colours.
