Ichneumonid Wasp (Ichneumonidae)

A very attractive wasp. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to ID wasps, in particular Ichneumonids from photographs. As Tom Murray says about these "Very few of this diverse group can be identified from photographs." Quite often one needs a specimen and the knowledge to examine the specimen under a microscope. We are content to leave this as simply an Ichneumonid wasp.

Hmm, not sure I'd call it attractive ;-) but an excellent photo nonetheless. Quite effective against that background, and super detail. V.

Very nice contrast against that white color...V.
