Norway, 17.10,

Several specimens of various sizes on oak leaves, largest maybe 10mm (total lenght)

I have posted this on hymis.de with no luck (yet)

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!
