Genus Coelichneumon
Edward L. Ryerson Conservation Area - Riverwoods, IL - May 31st 2024
Ignoring my normal one of two photos per post for this absolute BEAUTY. This individual really is what solidified my utter adoration for Ichneumonid Wasps its just so wonderfully beautify and striking and getting to watch it clean itself was such a wonderful little moment that I'm truly so lucky to have gotten to witness. I think parastoids are so cool and interesting and this individual is no exception.
