Know how you like trying to ID Ichneumons Wink
Series taken Yesterday South coast UK on a lace hydrangea.Body length about 10mm.
Several of these females examining the buds very carefully and ovipositing in them.
Thanks

Looks like a pimpline ichneumonid but hard to say which without a specimen Smile

Not Pimplinae!

It is not Pimplinae, because of the petiole............ I cannot even say if it is Ichneumonidae or Braconidae, one does not see the wing..................... la drill thus left brings closer me Cryptinae!
