Hello, 13 July 2023, Germany, Saarland, found in my garden.
At first I thought Ichneumonidae, but on second glance it was a Diptera sitting on the leaves of Corylus avellana and waving its front legs.
After collecting it I identified it as Micropezidae, Rainieria calceata, male.
I think this is a remarkable find

best wishes

Mats
