Greetings all,
This afternoon I caught a wasp inside our house which was amazing because the ovipositor was so long! Here are a few photos of her inside a mason jar. I released her outside and she promptly flew away, probably to search for a place to lay an egg.
I knew ichneumon wasps have long ovipositors but I’ve never seen one this long. It was so thin and delicate looking.. but think of what it can do!
