In eastern North America females overwintering as adults belong to tribe Ichneumonini. |

Looks like a Tromatobia, but I'm not an expert.

Many thanks, John and Lars. Here in Germany I have found several Ichneumonini overwintering, but also others (Ophioninae etc.). Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hello, I have searched a little bit in the web, and from the 4 Tromatobia species occuring in Germany I find T. lineatoria a very good match (as the only species). It parasitizes orb web spiders (Araneidae) including Zygiella x-notata - which were present all around there. http://www.wildab...oto/116677 http://www.wildab...oto=116514 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
