As for this one, it's very likely an ichneumon wasp, but being more specific within that huge family is difficult.
There are 3,600 species in Germany alone, so narrowing it down is tough. There's a very similar picture shown for Hercus fontinalis on Wikipedia, but in other pictures, it looks quite different.
Any wasp experts in the house?

And then there's even smaller spider that was dangling at the end of a thread of silk in the breeze before briefly landing on me.
Likely a juvenile from genus Philodroma, the running crab spiders, & perhaps either P. albidus (🇩🇪 Heller Flachstrecker or P. dispar (🇩🇪 Zweifarbflachstrecker).

Harder to photo & ID is this much smaller metallic fly, perched on the edge of a tulip.
From the shape & sheen, it's likely in genus Psilopa (shore or brine flies in English; Uferfliege in 🇩🇪), & one plausible option for the species would be P. nitidula.
That said, we're quite some way from any sea or brine, so maybe it's something else entirely 😬

Still slowly crawling towards full-blown spring here – mostly cloudy & not that warm yet 🤷♂️
But still some things to see in the garden, starting with this pretty fly.
From the colouration, & arrangement of bristles on the thorax & around the eyes, my best guess is a female common European greenbottle (Lucilia sericata; 🇩🇪 Goldfliege / Grüne Goldfliege).

Radwegenetz mit Optimierungsbedarf
Ich beleuchte in diesem Beitrag wesentliche Problemstellen dieses Straßenabschnitts und wünsche, dass Verantwortliche daraus ein tragfähiges Konzept erarbeiten, welches die Sicherheit für Menschen entscheidend verbessert.

Hintergrund | Radwegenetz mit Optimierungsbedarf
Wer sich in Heidelberg mit dem Fahrrad bewegt und ein wenig aufmerksam ist, kann schnell bemerken, wo es klemmt. Und ja, es gibt auch gute Stellen, an denen das Radwegenetz vorbildlich und durchgängig ausgebaut ist. Das Marketing der Stadtverwaltung ist hierbei gut. Die ruprecht hat sich im Artikel „Zwo, eins, Risiko“ auch schon damit auseinandergesetzt... (weiter)

Students for Palestine get together 🌯
🌿 🇵🇸
Sfp Heidelberg is growing and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Join us for a chill get-to-know-us where we’ll share delicious traditional Palestinian dishes, connect and exchange ideas in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
This is more than just food, it’s about community. While we eat and chat, we’d love to brainstorm creative ideas together, maybe even start projects we can turn into something meaningful.
If you feel like it, feel free to bring along some food to share (homemade or not), something creative or anything you’d like to contribute to the vibe, it would be very much appreciated.
Whether you’re Palestinian, curious to learn, or just looking to meet new people with the same goal and love for liberation, you’re welcome.
A small note: If you do bring food, please make sure it’s clearly labelled (halal, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.) so everyone can feel comfortable and included.
Also we’re keeping this a sober and mindful space (no alcohol, and please be conscious of boycotted brands)
