A fancy Ichneumonid wasp friend found during yard work today. Ichneumonidae is a family of parasitoid wasps of the insect order Hymenoptera. They are arguably the largest animal family, with an estimated 60,000 species worldwide. #invert

I've only sorted and pinned a very small fraction of the ichneumonds collected by the 6-meter Malaise I have in central Utah. Among other discoveries is a new species of Tricholabus!

These are the wasps we're looking at. Ichneumonidae, subfamily Pimplinae. They lay eggs on caterpillars, spiders, sometimes spider eggs.. the egg hatches and eats the host.
They're also incredibly pretty. 🧪

Hopefully an interesting parasitoid will emerge from this larva aeterna.
If it is a Diadegma it will likely appear in October. Males tend to emerge in the first third of Oct whilst females emerge in the second third (before the 20th).

Neat wasp I found in W. Washington today. No clue on ID, maybe something from Ichneumonidae. #invertefest #invertebrate #hymenoptera

Zelf opgegeten werd... dit zijn coconnetjes van Ichneumonidae of Braconidae die de rups daar in dat exoskelet hebben opgepeuzeld. :)

L'obiettivo delle Costituzioni democratiche è evitare la concentrazione dei poteri nelle mani di un unico soggetto; l'obiettivo degli autocrati è svuotarle dall'interno, come fanno le larve delle vespe Ichneumonidae divorando il corpo dell'insetto involontariamente ospite.

I wish I could step away into a parallel universe to spend 50 years studying Ichneumonidae.

Almost another chopping board casualty (this time in organic cabbage). A female Gelis wasp (Ichneumonidae) - food preparation is taking longer than usual!
