I think it could be from one of the Ichneumon fly family, one of several species that lays eggs on moth caterpillars. |

It's not a fly, looks like a Sawfly to me going by the thick waist. That is Order Hymenoptera, Sub-order Symphyta.
There's a few families you can look at here: Fotogalerie - Hymenoptera Information System (HymIS)

I've just checked page 2 of family Argidae, Arge rustica looks a good bet. Fotogalerie - Hymenoptera Information System (HymIS)
I should add that yours is likely a male, the female looks different!

Arge ustulata should not be discounted. | | |
