Good evening J?RGEN!
Did you catch this ichneumon?
I do not manage to recognize it and it seems to to me that I know it!
With the Museum of Munich, my friends do not know either!

No, sorry. I am only a hobby photographer and normally do not collect specimens.

that's an amazing wasp and photos as well. I see that Ichneumonidae are hard (i knew..). But it would be great to know at least the genus.

Fantastic, many thanks! This was really an opulent wasp, as the species name indicates...

Date was September-15, 2007. In forest near 33829 Borgholzhausen, Germany, MTB 3815. MTB means "Messtischblatt", which is a quadrant in the official topological maps (1:25000).
I have also tried to find the coordinate with Google Maps. That gives me: 52.115651, 8.304763. I'm not sure, what that precisely means...
