I guess it can't be anything else, but I would prefer to have had a more pixel-generous version of the image.

Moved from Ichneumon Wasps.

The gizmos projecting from the tip of the metasoma of this critter appear to be the male claspers of a species of Mesochorinae. I have been campaigning against the abominable recommendation of 560 pixels on the longest side, and this is just another case where following that recommendation is detrimental. I would hope that more pixels would permit me to confirm my supposition.

Moved from Ants, Bees, Wasps and Sawflies.
