Ophion wasp species

[Labrax]

Hi all, I am trying to obtain some pictures of a species of Ichneumon wasp, I believe the genus is Ophion, I have encountered at least two different species in Wales, on the Lleyn Peninsula. The wasps enter my tent in the early hours presumably attracted by the gas lamp that I use, I have not been able to take any decent photographs as I usually only take a disposable camera. I now have access to a digital camera so will be able to get some shots if the wasps are still active. I have been on 8 camping trips this summer and have seen these wasps on nearly every trip. Any info would be great, cheers Labrax.

Thanks Johnny, the wasp is definitely the same anatomy, but the examples I've seen are much darker red in colour, I shall have to go to Wales next week and see if the're still active and maybe bag a photo or two.
