Ichneumon Wasp

 

An Ichneumon Wasp.


Also known as Ichneumon flies these are relatives of the Bees and Wasps. I haven’t seen this species before. Unfortunately I cannot identify it as there is no comprehensive guide to British Ichneumons. This species has a distinctive hind leg.

    this is a sawfly Croesus septentrionalis. Nobody knows why it has such odd hind legs.
    googling entomologist from Poland
