    Didn't know you have these across the pond. A nice view of this wasp. Nice you caught it on a big leaf. Detail looks pretty good.

    Hi John, never seen this before, pretty cool. I think you could afford to loose some off the top and give it a bit more depth in the greenery department, similar to the Robin tweak.

    You've got me thinking with all of this, might checkout the Tansy beetle, one of the few spots in the UK near the Little owl site...

    Everything is spot on. Like the re-post better. Interesting insect with a long tail. Quite an effort to get everything in focus.

    Hi Jon. I think you will find that this wasp is in the family Gasteruptiidae (rather than Ichneumonidae). Possibly in the Genus Gasteruption. :)
