Good evening!
Today I met some very interesting insects, as I think from hymenoptera(still not reticuloptera-we do not have such in the region according to the lists..)
The insect itself is relatively small, about two centimeters in length, about 2.5 cm in wingspan. The body is black, with a slightly metallic blue sheen, covered with dark rather sparse hairs. The abdomen is straight, no obvious signs(ovipositor) were seen on its top during the second of contact, possibly a male. The wings are transparent with a black band on the first pair and a red spot near the top of the wing. Wings at rest are located on the sides of the body. In flight, it is almost silent, you can hear a slight rustle of wings.

I was sinning on some small ascolaphus - only one species is known in our region, and that Ascalaphus macaronius And I didn't find any other similar species on MacroID.

Unfortunately, the instance quite quickly retreated into the open window, giving itself a look for about 2 seconds, and when trying to catch, quite cleverly chose an open window to escape from the balcony.

The place where I met-the city of Ulyanovsk itself, the balcony of a high-rise building near the Sviyaga river, today around 19.30

Please help me understand what it could be, is it even enough ?
