Ichneumon Wasps I am not sure of the species. I was told they are Ichneumon wasps. It seems like these could be females ovipositing in the bark of a dead tree. Costa Rica,Geotagged,Spring,ichneumon Click/tap to enlarge

    Nice find! Note that Ichneumoniidae is not specific enough for a species identification, it is a family of species, not a single specific species. Posted 10 years ago
