Ichneumonidae
This is definitly an Ichneumonidae. The "horse head" cell is very characteristic.

Why?
Why isn't this an ichneumenon? I'm sure it isn't but how do you differentiate. I know the horse-head cell has something to do with it..
Just curius

Woops...
Sorry about that...yeah I was stumped on this, anything in the Ichneumonoidea tend to confuse me beyond belief, but I notice on my notes that I had 2 possibilites from this one, based on images (I know that this is a terrible way to work with these guys, but I've got lucky a couple times). I had down Rogas (Aleiodes) terminalis, in Braconiidae, and Stenobarichneumon pygmaeops, in Ichneumonidae. Actually taking a decent look at it now, I can see the horse-head cell, and I'm looking at an Ichneumonid (I was probably looking more at size...tiny little braconids!) Stenobarichneumon pygmaeops looks pretty darn close, see

, but I'll try (if I get the ambition to look through all that text) to key it out for sure...
