There are far, far too many wasps in that genus... :( But thanks for the suggestion :)

I'mj ust guessing, wasps are not my area..It is genus Ichneumon, I'm sure...

Hmm, does look quite similar, but the antennae don't match. Similar enough to make me fairly certain that this is the genus Ichneumon, though.

Ichneumon xanthorius?
