wasp - Hoplocryptus notatus - Female
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
October 10, 2011
A number of different wasps have been hanging out near a dish of sugar water and fruit that I have out for them (and for the occasional moth). Mostly Yellow Jackets, Bald-faced Hornets and spider wasps feed but these Ichneumons have been around for a few days, too. This wasp seemed very interested in this stem for some reason as it kept walking up and down the stem.

None of the Nearctic species of Gambrus have a white scutellum or clypeus, and none are parasitoids of stem dwellers.

Moved from Gambrus.

Cryptinae…
This appears to be a species of Gambrus which are associated with stem borers.
