IchneumonsBug in my garden
Hi there Bugman!
Thank you for providing everyone with such a wonderful website. Please could you tell me what this insect is? It looks similar to "Giant Ichneumon – Megarhyssa atrata" on your website. Thank you for your help.

Hi Andrew,
Your Giant Ichneumon is indeed Megarhyssa atrata. We have gotten several other photos of Megarhyssa species recently, but M. atrata is distinctly black with a yellow head and legs. Thank you for adding to our site and also thank you for your kind words.
