Wasp /sawfly IDs please

[Lester]

#1A Found in Pembrokeshire, length ~9mm


#1B as above


#2 Found in Pembrokeshire, body length ~8mm.
Seems to be ovipositing in the egg next of a green spider {NOTE} it had an almighty fight with earlier, visited the area twice so seemed to be deliberate.
{NOTE click for spider in question}


#3 Found in Pembrokeshire, body length ~16mm exl antenna (a bit too long for the macrophoto lens used)

Evening Lester,

Two Ichneumon wasps follow.

Take care,

Jason

I think you can safely go as far as Tromatobia sp. (with possibility of T. ovivora) on your first ichneumon, the one ovipositing near the spider.

The second one I'm not so sure about.

Cheers. Nik.

Thanks everyone.

On the fly then, is the folded structure under the abdomen a reproductive part (I assumed it was an ovipositer - sorry sir).

Yes, it's the male genitals!

Wow, thus the phrase hung like a Poecilobothrus nobilitatus.
