Good evening,
I shot this picture in Porriño-Pontevedra(NW Spain) on august 2010. Clearing in a mixed forest (pines + Oaks) at 100 mts.
It was parasitizing a bagworm.
Would be very pleased if some by could help me with its identification.
Thnks in advance
Rafa

Dear Camille and Rafael,
this is Chirotica sp. (Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae). Chirotica are known being parasitoids of Psychidae.
Best wishes!
