Ichneumon Wasp Frozen Head State Park June 2008

This Ichneumon Wasp's plan of making a meal of this spider backfired when the spider quickly began spinning silk around her!

Ichneumon Wasp Oak Ridge, TN August 28, 2008 The neighbor boys who live behind me rang my doorbell and told me excitedly about this "thing with a HUGE stinger" they had found on their porch rail. I grabbed my camera because the "thing" sounded interesting! It turned out to be this ichneumon wasp. They were relieved to learn that it would not sting them!
