    Winzige Brackwespe (Körperlänge max. 3 mm), vermutlich Gattung Bracon, bei der Eiablage in eine Gänsedistelknospe, in der sich vermutlich Dunklere Gänsedistel-Bohrfliegen entwickeln. Vermutlich, weil diese Bohrfliegen in der letzten Woche andauernd paarweise dort zu sehen waren.
    Brackwespen gehören zu den Schlupfwespenartigen.

    Die Bilder wirken fies, so fies, wie das Leben sein kann.

    Die Fotos zeigen zwei Insektenarten, einmal einen todgeweihten Nesselrüssler (Phyllobius pomaceus), der als lebender Nahrungsvorrat diente. Und zum anderen die verpuppungsbereite Larve einer für mich nicht identifizierbaren Schlupfwespenart, die dabei ist, ihren von innen aufgefressenen, aber noch lebenden Wirt zu verlassen.

    Makes me wonder if it's prey, predators or posture that warrant this eye placement.

  15. I'm a little surprised by this 1919 description of a parasitic #wasp (#Hymenoptera #Ichneumonidae), the only described species from #Australia in a genus that includes dozens of #species.

    The opening #Latin section gives rich detail on coloration and markings. The #English section describes morphology but has nothing about coloration. I would have expected the Latin to document a subset of the English, not to be fully complementary.

    Is this normal for some taxa?

  20. Four (parasitic) #wasps (#Hymenoptera) from a SLAM #Malaise sample in #Canberra #Australia over the last three weeks. Natural areas everywhere are (or should be) full of beautiful #insects like these, all just going about their business.

    A #FairyWasp in the genus #Mymar - the first I have seen here in the nominate genus - see how tiny this #insect is.

    An #ichneumon wasp (#Ichneumonidae) in the subfamily #Campopleginae - probably possible to get this one to genus, but most Australian species are unnamed.

    #Vosleria australia (or at least that's the only named Australian species in the genus) - family #Encyrtidae

    #Anastatus, unknown species - family #Eupelmidae

  25. Malcolm Storey created and maintains bioimages.org.uk , a huge catalogue of high-resolution images of most animals that can be found in the British Isles, except for birds and other vertebrates.

    Offers one of the most comprehensive catalogue of #Ichneumonidae images with special emphasis on macro photography to illustrate species-diagnostic features.

    Malcolm has been identifying thousands of parasitoid wasps at #iNaturalist – that's how I found out. Thanks so much for all your work.

  30. I made many attempts to get a definitive image of this insect. This was the best of them.

    It is an ichneumon, an elegant and extraordinary predator wasp. This female has an exceptionally long ovipositor, used for probing into holes and laying eggs to parasitise wasp or other larvae.

    There are at least 2500 species in the UK but this one lacks any dramatic features which make identification straightforward. This would need to be mounted and examined under a microscope. I left it be.

  35. 15 years ago today I had my first and only encounter with an Ichneumonid Wasp. It was laying some eggs in this tree (which fell and totaled my car just over a month later, but that's probably not related!)

    Creepy looking, but also fascinating.

  40. Still struggling with the manual portrait lens for macro. On this occasion though it was really in its element.

    I thought this was Pimpla rufipes but just at the end of the ovipositor there is a slight curve, like a rainwater shoe. So this is the nearly identical Apecthis compunctor. They are ichneumon wasps, parasitic on butterfly caterpillars.
