Ichneumon wasp (tiny)

Thanks Luke!

Nice ichneumon! :)

Thanks Kristal and shyamece. :) I just added it to the Pollinator Bugs mission. As for the camera question, I use a Canon Rebel body with a Tamron 60mm macro lens.

Great Photo and Ichneumons...the sharpness is cool, i would love to take such pics, which camera plz?

Psst... there's a new Pollinator Bugs mission you should add this too: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7740.... :)

Thanks SmallWonders :)

Great photo! I Love the Ichneumons :)

Thanks Atul and Kristal. And thanks for the ID Kristal - it looks exactly right! The only Ichneumon wasps I've seen before have been large, with long tails, so I never would have pegged this one. :)

Here's another link with a very similar looking wasp found in Utah, genus Ophion: http://amazingnature.us/insects/ichneumo....

I think it is an Ichneumon wasp, subfamily Ophioninae: http://bugguide.net/node/view/43468. Beautiful photos, by the way.

What a pic !! superb
