In the forest was thinking spider wasp but looking at the picture probably not maybe Lyroda subita although I looked at all pictures in the guide and didn't seem right

Female

10 flagellomeres = ♀
The hind tibiae have a serrated edge and the wings have a few dark slotches.
This looks like a female in the genus Priocnemis. She is not as red as the last one.

Thanks a new species for me .

Thanks a new species for me . For some reason I was thinking that Priocnemis are small and this was on the larger side.
