  1. I usually get confused with this Ichneumonidae wasps, Enicospilus ramidulus is also quite alike, with some differences in thorax markings, and size, but I don't know how to distinguish one from another. Probably WildFlowerWildFlower will give a help on this one. Nevertheless, great capture, with beautiful details, so well focused. Cheers*

    1. Thanks for the comment.
      I have some other pictures of this one where you can see it has the four yellow stripes on its back. It is hard to see it clearly in this picture.

  2. Another stunner! You really make ideal portrait-like photos of all these critters, very valuable. Posted 9 years ago
