Ichneumonid wasp (Therion sp.)

Morewood Bog

It was a cold windy day a few days ago (unlike today which was much too hot for me... I'll take the colder weather!) and this wasp was clinging to a blueberry shrub, buffeted by the wind.

What an interesting looking wasp - wouldn't have known it was one without your description!

Excellent capture, but not something I'd want to run into! Funny, it's cold in Portland, and I find I miss the hot weather of Riyadh ;-). V.

as gangly as it is colourful...d'accord as to weather conditions...some warmth is restorative, but there must be a feeling of freshness too..

Great shot and find! I'm with you on the cooler weather. Hot and humid coming in for this weekend. :-(
