Very pretty
Almost looks like it has some spider mimicry going on.

It's the nicest ichneumon I've seen yet.
It's a shame these are so tough to ID. Two of them were working the flower at the same time, and that was interesting to watch.

Mysterious wasp
It looks like an "ichneumon". But which species, I don't know.
