Irina.This is the first spotting I've seen on Noah from Russia.Keep them coming. This is an Ichneumon Wasp.Ichneumons are parasites that lay their eggs in or on the larvae of other insects or spiders by way of the long ovipositer inserted into the hole made by the insect it is parasiting. It's hard to tell the size from your photo but it looks quite large.
