Parasite Wasp

Family: Ichneumonidae, Gotra sp.

Description:

A cool looking wasp found in the rainforest. Was very quick so only got a few shots in. This wasp lays it eggs on the inside of various caterpillars where they grow and eat their way out.

It seems an Ichneumonid wasp. I'd start to research from there.
