This very thin and long ichneumon wasp resembled some wasps I noticed in the Anomaloninae subfamily, but there were other ichneumon wasp groups with long thin wasps too.

Eiphosoma
Thanks so much for identifying this ichneumon wasp for me, Ross! I am learning a lot about the ichneumon wasps in my area with your help. There are definitely Pyralid moths (and their caterpillars) at Ludwig Prairie.
