Ichneumon - black and white antennae (top view) - Female

Same individual as . I thought I had added this previously, but I guess I only previewed it. Shows at least a little of the wing venation, and maybe a few more leg spur details, if it matters...

Ichneumon female
I would not bother trying to get ichneumons to genus. I have consulted two experts who insist it is impossible to make IDs from photos. Even specimens are problematic:-)

Eric,
are there subfamilies or supergenera or genera clusters of some sort that will allow us to at least group photos together, rather than just 500 photos dumped unceremoniously onto an Ichneumonidae guide page?
