Apparently feeding on honeydew.

Moved from Ichneumon Wasps.

 
Chilled?
It was a fairly cool morning, about 6 degrees C. The ichneumon was at an inconvenient height for photography, so I removed the leaf from its branch and set it down lower - the ichneumon did not react until warmed by the sun for several minutes. Maybe not relevant. Thanks to you both.

 
Interesting
Perhaps that is the "sleeping" posture.

great shot, splendid beast... anomalonine, i suppose
