This is my first "post"; I would appreciate help in identifying the insect photographed in my conservatory today.  |

Hi Wilkie, welcome to WAB. 
It's a wasp in the family Ichneumonidae of which there are many and difficult to identify. If it has a long 'stinger' that will be the female's ovipositor, they are harmless.
Take a look here.

A fascinating group of insects, although most can't be identified from photos. Nice photos, Welcome to WAB.

Cheers. Nik. | It does, and it looks like Pimpla rufipes but it's upside down and we can't see the ovipositor. NatureSpot
