Looks like a sting in the tail here, Carol: glad he obliged and allowed you to get such crisp shots before he was consigned to the big outdoors again.

Yes, I believe it is a parasitic wasp, Martin, many thanks for the ID. Carol

Yes, one of the Ichneumon wasps - she is gorgeous! You've captured her details brilliantly!

What an unkind ( but guaranteed to get attention) title to give to such a beautiful creature. V1 is outstanding in its detail, V2 gives us a good view of the curved abdomen characteristic of ichneumon wasps and the very long ovipositor ( long, sticky out egg laying tube at the end of the abdomen). Two cracking shots doing this beauty full justice.

Well I guess you were never one of those girls who sqeal and jump on a chair
when you see a spider! Instead it's get a glass, trap the beggar and wait for my camera!
Scary creature well captured.

You don't want to get on the wrong end of that tail thingy Carol! Glad you despatched him! Two sharp images - not sure whether I like v1 or v2 best, so half each today!!

Have a shot of a similar specimen somewhere on my hard-drive injecting it's eggs in to a Large White caterpillar, I'll have a look for it when I'm better, still very much out of sorts at the moment though......Good images Carol.....

Great captures. What a beastie, what bit has the stinger? the front or that long thing at the back? Hope you didn't get too close.... IB
