Ypsilonigaster tiger. Braconidae, Microgastrinae. From Thailand. Host unknown. Coloured pencils.

Finally got around to drawing Ypsilonigaster tiger! Jose Fernandez from the CNC approved, so that's nice! I literally have 6 wasps to go, and I'm finished! #Ypsilonigastertiger #Microgastrinae

Microgastrinae. Male.

Microgastrinae. Male.

- I give up again.
