Can somebody please ID this or at least confirm that it is Braconidae.
body 3-4mm, horn 2-3mm
feeding on yarrow blossom. 15.50pm, 12th Sept. 2017, Flensburg, Germany.

More detail might be seen on the video:-

(I removed Siricidae from the subject request after Jürgen pointed out that it's too small to be one.)

Not Siricidae - I'd say Braconidae

Hello Ray,

Siricidae are large to very large wasps. Urocera gigas, the largest Hymenoptera of central Europe, belongs to the Siricidae. You won't find a Siricid with a length of 3-4 mm, more likey 30-40 mm. Wink
Best regards,
Jürgen

Thanks Jürgen,
So would you also guess at Braconidae? Any suggestion as to the Subfamily?
Warm Regards
Ray

Thanks Jürgen

Yes, I thinks that's it - a great helpSmile it matches other images of Bracon Sp. on the internet.

Below is a similar looking male of what I think is also Bracon Sp.
On broccoli flower buds in my garden.
15.47pm, 21st Sept. 2017. Flensburg, Germany.

You can see he has no ovipositor when he goes into flight at the end of this video:-
