colorful black and yellow ichneumon wasp - Acroricnus stylator - Female
Chipera Prairie, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
August 28, 2020
Size: ~11 mm
I looked through ichneumon wasps on BugGuide hoping to find a close match for this wasp and came up empty. I know the photos are crummy and only from one angle but the markings are so distinctive that maybe its identity can be narrowed down.

Acroricnus stylator aequatus
Thank you so much for helping me ID this ichneumon wasp, Jonathan! I'm embarrassed because I've actually photographed Acroricnus stylator at another prairie previously but didn't recognize this individual from those old photos. There were a couple minor differences in details between the two wasps but I should have picked that up.
