Hymenoptera. The bees, bumblebees, ants, wasps and saw flies belong to that order.

Hymenoptera is divided into different subordes. Namely suborder Symphyta (This group has no waist, sawflies) and suborder Apocrita. Apocrita is also divided into two groups. Namely: Parasitica and Aculeta.

Parasitica: wasps or parasitic hymenoptera. The females have an ovipositor, with the ovipositor they lay eggs into or near larvae. These larvae are eaten by the wasp larvae. There are several families.
The largest group are the ichneumon wasp (Ichneumonidae). Other groups are: Braconidae, chalcid wasps (Chalcidoidea), Gasteruptiidae, gall wasps (Cynipoidea) The plant galls develop, when the eggs are laid.  

Aculeata: In this group the ovipositor is is modified into an stinger. With this stinger they can defend themselves (bees) or they can stun a prey.  In this group are also wasps with parasitic larvae. Spider wasps look like ichneumon wasps, but have a sting to stun their hosts. Jewel wasps (Chrysididae) have a sting too.

Ichneumon wasps, Ichneumonidae

There are many species in the world. (60.000 species worldwide) Ichneumon wasps are parasitoids of other insects.  Their abdomen is  very elongated and have long antennae (at least 16 segments)
They are solitary. There are many subfamilies.

According to Camille Thirion the abdomen end is that of Stenichneumon!: Abdomen end of Patrocloides sputator = Amblypygi.
Head narrowed behind at Stenicheumon culpator.

Not sure, because there are more similar species. However, this species is active this time. Furthermore, they can also be confused with Netelia species. However, the wing veins of these wasps is different. 
This is a relatively small species. I also see larger species, but they don't want to sit still up till now. A light orange Ichneumon wasp with yellow markings on the thorax. Male, because the females have an ovipositor.
Host: caterpillars.

A possibility is Pimpla rufipes. But there are more similar species. A black wasp with distinctive red legs. The antennae are black. Length about 15 mm. Photo 27-8-2013.

Gergely Várkonyi: This wasp belongs to the Polysphincta group of genera in Ephialtini (Pimplinae). Possible genera are (e.g.) Polysphincta and Oxyrrhexis. O. carbonator is one of the possibilities. But Polysphincta spp. look similar. (spp: species pluralis, several species). Thanks Gergely.  About 10 mm. Photos 15-10-2011

Furthermore, they can also be confused with ophion species. But the veins of  the wings are different.

Henrik Gyurkovics thinks: It could be fam. Ichneumnidae, subfam.Cryptinae, and there is a remote possibility that it is some Gelis spec.

Thanks Henrik

Wasp in the genus Gelis are wingless.

It was sitting in the shade. But I think it's still a nice photo. Black with red abdomen (not clearly visible on this photo) and red thighs. Antennae black with white. The ovipositor is bent downwards at the end. 
They feed on the larvae of some species of longhorn beetles.

Braconidae

Wereldwijd is dit ook een heel grote groep met meer dan 10.000 soorten. Antennes hebben 17 of meer segmenten. Een slank lichaam.  

Ceraphronidae and Megaspilidae.
Ceraphronidae Megaspilidae and are both small families, which are closely related. The wasps can be brachypterous or wingless. The Megaspilidae with wings differ from the Ceraphronidae by a very large stigma in the wing. The larvae are parasites of all kinds of insects. All species are small (up to five mm).

Wingless, very small and dark. It struck me as he walked on a white stool. The wingless species are found in the soil between the leaf litter.

About 2 mm.

The species is unknown. If you enlarge the pictures, you can see the clearly visible large stigma in the wing.
Small and dark on a bamboo leaf.

Gall wasps, Cynipidae.

Most females in this group lay their eggs with their ovipositor in plants. Than the plant galls develop. Ibalia leucospoides, described below, does not lay their eggs on plants.

It is a parasite of wood wasps of the genera Sirex, Urocerus and Xeris which live in 'pine'.
A very special wasp. The abdomen is very narrow. It has the wings along its abdomen. The veins look very different to the veins of other wasps. Antenna female: 13 segments. Male 15 segments.
In the Netherlands there are known are two species: Ibalia leucospoides (Hochenwarth, 1785) and Ibalia rufipes Cresson, 1879. Worldwide there are not too many species.
Length to 15 mm.
Holarctic region; introduced to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa

Gasteruptiidae.

Characteristic of this family is that the metasoma (the posterior part of the body) is very high attached.  
The eggs are laid in nests of solitary bees. Antenna segments 13 (males) ​​or 14 (females) The hind tibiae are swollen and there are 3 red bands on the abdomen.

Probably  Gasteruption assectator. Family Gasteruptiidae.

The female has a short ovipositor. Similar to the larger Gasteruption jaculator. But the female has a long ovipositor. However, there are more species in the Netherlands.
