Ichneumon wasp - Ichneumon ambulatorius
by: Moni

Your photo is of an Ichneumon wasp. The antenna give it away. After much searching, I believe the species is Ichneumon ambulatorius.
The ichneumon wasps are one of the largest families of insects. They are noted for their antennae longer and with more segments than most other wasps. In many ichneumon wasp females the ovipositor is quite long, often longer than the body.
Most ichneumon wasps are beneficial with the larvae feeding in a variety of other insect larva as internal parasites. This species has been found feeding in the crop pest fall armyworm.
