Ichneumonswhat is this?
What the heck is this wasp-like creature? and will he bite/sting? He was hanging out on our house in southern Colorado. He is about 3 in. long, not including the (tail?).
This is one of the Giant Ichneumon species from the genus Megarhyssa. It is harmless despite the formidable looking ovipositor.
