ichneumon wasp - Itoplectis conquisitor
Chimney Rock Park, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA

This female ichneumon wasp matches up with Zaglyptus varipes,but there were several other ichneumon wasps that looked very similar too. I would appreciate any input on this colorful wasp.

Itoplectis conquisitor
Thanks for taking a look and correcting my poor attempt at ID on this ichneumon wasp, Ross! I had not seen Itoplectis conquisitor out in the field before, even though it is considered to be common.
