Hmm, a very anonymous ichneumon ... maybe a cryptine but I am just guessing :)

Thank you, at least now I have a a family.
Can I assume it is a male (lacking ovipositor)?
Not very spectaculat looking, but still nice though.

Not Cryptinae, probably Ichneumoninae perhaps Cratichneumon sp., to wait!

Cratichneumon varipes = Homotherus varipes currently!
