    Ichneumons are such odd-looking creatures. Nice capture here.

    Excellent photograph, is it "pimpla",my book just has "several similar species".Like the bands on the rear legs.

    I think its impossible to say. There are very few identified Ichneumon images on the web.

    I think it's Syrphid parasitoid Diplazon laetatorius Ichneumonidae
