Vespas-de-Darwin (Família Ichneumonidae)Observador
albertcardonaDescrição
On pine tree bark, drumming its antennae on the bark likely in search of insect larvae. Tentative genus.
Unless I am very mistaken, the ovipositor appears to be fairly transparent, unlike that of available Exallonyx examples at iNaturalist to date.

These wasps were nesting in the wood of an old table. On top of the table there were some dead aphids. One of the wasps (first and second pic) took one of the aphids and inserted it in one of the holes in the wood. The last pic shows a detail of the aphids presumably collected by the wasps.

Note the dead ant, its jaws still clasping a posterior leg of this bee. Or, when you take your dead enemies out for lunch.
On mint flowers.
