Hello!

This yellow and black 25 mm Ichneumonid vistited Angelica sylvestris blossoms at a damp place in the wood two days ago (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Is it possible to say more than just Ichneumonidae sp.? Thanks in advance!

Good evening J?RGEN!
Did you catch this ichneumon?
I do not manage to recognize it and it seems to to me that I know it!

With the Museum of Munich, my friends do not know either!

No, sorry. I am only a hobby photographer and normally do not collect specimens.

that's an amazing wasp and photos as well. I see that Ichneumonidae are hard (i knew..). But it would be great to know at least the genus. :)

Fantastic, many thanks! This was really an opulent wasp, as the species name indicates... :D

Date was September-15, 2007. In forest near 33829 Borgholzhausen, Germany, MTB 3815. MTB means "Messtischblatt", which is a quadrant in the official topological maps (1:25000).
I have also tried to find the coordinate with Google Maps. That gives me: 52.115651, 8.304763. I'm not sure, what that precisely means...
