Hello! Can anybody identify this 6-7 mm long Ichneumonid (or Braconid)? It hatched today from a pupa I collected from our garden shed on June-20. The larva came from a spider of family Tetragnathidae, a Tetragnatha obtusa female. Ostwestfalen/Germany. Here the "whole story" with pictures of larva, spider and pupa (text in German only, sorry): http://insektenfo...eadid=8020 Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [46.62Kb] Edited by Juergen Peters on 08-07-2007 21:29 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

The wasp photographed through the glass. Sorry for the picture quality, the animal was "hyperactive"...

I once reared a very similar wasp that keyed to Polysphincta (family Pimplinae) but I'm not 100% sure yours is without keying it.  |

Hello, Chris! Chris Raper wrote: I once reared a very similar wasp that keyed to Polysphincta(family Pimplinae) but I'm not 100% sure yours is without keying it. Thanks! At least I know where to start searching. You are right: it resembles some Pimplinae I know.
