I only got one chance to take a photograoh of this wasp before it flew off never to be seen again. This explains the disappointing image.
I was surprised to see it so late in the season.
Can anyone please offer a suggestion on identification as I cannot find it in my insect books?.
Thank you,
Brian. |

It's an ichneumon - a bit late but we had a similar photo here today so they must still be hanging on  Best try posting it on HymIS where they have experts in this group |

I will have a look at the link you suggest.
Have clicked the link but it looks rather complicated for an 'old codger' like me. I hoped it was a forun like the one we are using. Thanks anyway.

Reason: Had look at link and was frightened off. It's an age thing.

Ahh, it's fairly easy to get into ... though it is based in Germany so it does have some foreign posters. You just need to add a new thread in the forum called 'Ichneumonoidea / Schlupf- und Brackwespen' |

I think I will settle for just an ichneumon fly.
It was great to have seen it ,even for that brief moment.

Have a look at this site, Brian Ichneumonidae - Ichneumoninae but I'm afraid that there are several species which look similar to your Ichneumon.
Worth a quick glance though. |

You are confirming just what I have been experiencing and that is so many insects prove difficult to identify because :-
1) So may look similar.
2) Knowing where to start in the search.
Many thanks for your help.
