Comment by Dr. Sharkey…
"You got it right. Great pic on bugguide."

Well done, Ilona. A new species page can be created for this braconid. I would also suggest moving your other image identified by Dr. Achterburg there as well. Hosts include larvae of the Codling moth and the Oriental Fruit Moth. [Charmon cruentatus Haliday, 1833]

See reference here.

Braconid…
Looks similar to Charmon cruentatus. Will ask Dr. Sharkey.

Right…
There may be some slight morphological differences in this species, which is why I defer to Dr. Sharkey. See here, for example.
