White-spotted Ichneumonid Wasp
Echthromorpha intricatoria - there are many, many ichneumonid wasps in the forest. They become one of the most active groups of insects in autumn, flying here and there searching for a host for their eggs. This one is after lepidopteran pupae.
Ichneumonid wasp
Xanthopimpla sp. - a small parasitic wasp, often seen in the last month, patrolling the vegetation low in the undergrowth. Like the White-spotted Ichneumonid Wasp, it is searching for a lepidopteran pupa in which to deposit its eggs. Wasps in this genus have been used as a biological control agent for the Light Brown Apple Moth.
Short-tailed Ichneumonid Wasp
Enicospilus sp. or Netelia sp. - we’re not sure which one but it’s definitely in the subfamily Ophioninae of the Ichneumonidae. This wasp often comes to our lightsheets. Species in this subfamily inject their eggs into larval lepidopterans. It includes some of the only parasitoid wasps that can use their ovipositors to sting humans.
