@gayboysupreme submitted: Howdy! saw this lovely lady hanging out waving hello on my door the other day. Would love an ID if possible, my only guess is pimpla and i just cannot differentiate between the different species, found in [removed] (please remove!)

Hello! I agree with Pimpla but you're right that the different species are hard to differentiate just from photos. But the most common species in your area is, Pimpla pedalis, and that looks like a good fit for this lady.

@steeltypemutual submitted: i live in england, and i just found this little fella cleaning his antennae on my window! i belieeeeve he is a black slip wasp (Pimpla rufipes) as the size and physical appearance match up, but i'm not as focused on ID'ing him as i am with sharing him. i thought he was very handsome :)

He does indeed look like a male black slip wasp! And he is incredibly handsome. I hope he knows....

@petalprayermantis​ submitted: Update on the ermine moths I submitted earlier! They have been hatching in great numbers, also there was some parasitic wasps I assume were there looking for unhatched ones to lay their eggs into. The one pic where it looks like the wasp has no butt she was poking into the cocoons. If you can id the wasps that would be great! Pictured in Uusimaa, Finland.

Holy moly, that’s a lot of pals! They really coated that tree in their silk. Impressive. Clearly it’s more than okay that a cute little wasp parasitizes some of these dudes as population control. The wasp looks like an ichneumonid in the genus Pimpla.
