Ichneumon Wasp
-37.8985, 145.311
Field Notes
Description:
An active wasp about 20mm long including ovipositor. The head and thorax were a bright yellow with deep brown markings. The abdominal segments and ovipositor were dark with the terminal abdominal segments mostly, having blue bands. <br> Each forewing had a black pterostigma. <br> Looking at the wing venation (pic 5), a quadrate cell near the inner wing margin might help to identify this wasp as an ichneumon ( and not braconid)
Habitat:
Attracted to garden lights - warm night.
Notes:
Not sure of an ID for this attractive specimen- possible Gotra sp. Will keep looking.
