Ichneumonid wasp, male (Spilopteron vicinum)

Cumberland Forest

A brightly coloured wasp, this one found on wild parsnip.

Thanks to Tom Murray http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74 for the ID of this beautiful creature. Tom's galleries, as I have mentioned before, are a fantastic resource for help with ID of insects.

It certainly is a graceful looking wasp, in a beautiful composition, but one I'd rather keep at a distance. V.
