    Wonderful shot, Stephen!

    In terms of species, not sure either but it reminds me of the below, could be in the same family:

    Hover Fly Parasite, Heeswijk-Dinther, Netherlands Presumed species. Found on an oak leaf in a pine forest. This female imago was rapidly traversing the leaf, completely restless. I based identification on the banded legs of yellow and red, ending in black on the hind legs. Furthermore, the yellow marks on the top of the eyes. <br /> <br /> Check the little photo bomber in the top right :)<br /> <br /> Size reference:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/64827/hover_fly_parasite_heeswijk-dinther_netherlands.html Diplazon laetatorius,Europe,Heeswijk-Dinther,Hover Fly Parasite,Netherlands,World

      I think it's an ichneumonid as well, maybe something in subfamily Campopleginae. Posted 5 years ago
