neat!!
thanks for the ID, I can't believe you got an Ichnuemonidae to species! would you have any idea what this might parasitize?

Hosts
The hosts include cocoons of numerous Ichneumonoidea. There are also many records for Lepidoptera and Chrysopidae, but, at least in the case of the Lepidoptera, I would assume secondary parasitism of Ichneumonoidea, and, as far as I know, that could also be the case for the Chrysopidae recorded as hosts.
