Braconid wasp (♀)

Braconidae

Description:

A seriously long ovipositor and antennae make this girl about 4 times longer than her body. Ovipositor length estimated at 100mm !!

Habitat:

On eucalyptus trunk in open parkland.

Notes:

They usually have an ovipositor length that matches a specific purpose? I wonder where this one goes?
