Scorpion Wasp

Description:

Scorpion wasps are called so due to the extreme lengthening and curving of the abdomen.

Habitat:

The distribution of Ichneumonidae is one of the most notable exceptions to the common latitudinal gradient in species diversity because it shows greater speciation at high latitudes than at low latitudes.

Notes:

Other names: ichneumon wasps, ichneumon flies, ichneumons .
