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

Hi Rafa,

what a beauty, very nice pic, very nice animal! It belongs to the Ichneumonidae, for further information you could try the Ichneumonoidea-section on forum.hymis.de

Best regards,

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