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):

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. :)

Thanks! At least I know where to start searching. You are right: it resembles some Pimplinae I know.
