Ichneumon wasp confirmed as Eurylabus tristis on white Lychnis in my Devon garden, August. Its unfortunate Lychnis moth host is just about visible.

A walk around Anderton Nature Park, Cheshire in the heat and stumbled across this Ichneumon Wasp. Possibly Javelin Wasp (Gasteruption jaculator). #andertonnaturepark #ichneumonwasp #wildliferecording
Een sluipwesp.
An ichneumon wasp. Why has English often difficult words for animals or insects. The Dutch name translates roughly as creepwasp because they parasites on other insects. #sluipwesp #ichneumonwasp #insect
A black wasp standing on a green leaf with light yellow spots. The wasp has a white stripe on each antenna, a white spot on its thorax and another at the end if its abdomen.

A series of photos I forgot I'd taken last summer. This was the biggest Ichneumon wasp I'd seen and I watched her skip between fence posts for a while before she paused and lay her eggs, possibly in an unsuspecting larva in the wood.

4th of December and this was around at work today, Ichneumon Wasp of some sort ? #Ichneumonwasp #insects #ukwildife
Photo; side view of a Giant Ichneumon Wasp on a red wall, sporting a red-brown coloration separated by bright yellow striping throughout the body.
Photo; zoomed-out to show more of the wasp's ovipositor, but not the entirety of it as it's 1 - 2 times the length of the wasp itself.
Photo; dorsal view of a Giant Ichneumon Wasp on a red wall, sporting a red-brown coloration separated by bright yellow striping throughout the body, and dark wings spread.
A Giant Ichneumon Wasp (Megarhyssa Macrurus[?]) seen this past summer resting on a wall.
The ovipositor on this critter was massive, maybe 1.5 - 2x the length of the whole wasp. I unfortunately couldn't get the whole thing in the frame.
