Hello Camille!

Thank you for the identification! I have got 24 shots from this wasp but to tell you the truth, I am not fully aware of the morphology of Ichneumonids. I know well what is the scutellum, but I cannot see any kind of "spine" upon it. Can you offer me a website explaining the morphology? Thank you in advance!

i think there is no any good website showing fully the morphology of Parasitica wasps. :(

there is a key for Ichneumonoidea here:

here you can see a very simple scheme for distinguish (in a broad way!) Braconidae from Ichneumonidae (inside Ichneumonoidea superfamily).
