A proof to myself that my knowledge of insects is gradually growing; I took this photo 2 years ago and gave it a very simple title "an insect"; at least now I would title it "an Ichneumon wasp", I still do not know the exact name of the species, but there is some progress being made, I think....
Do they bite people?...
This one was photographed at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, at Camel's Hump trail.
