IchneumonsMale and Female Megarhyssa macrurus
Hi!
We were at our cottage in Holland, MI and were lucky enough to witness 2 female Ichneumon Megarhyssa macrurus depositing their eggs, while a couple of males observed. I noticed that have quite a few pictures of the females on your site – and thought you might like a couple photos of the males! Thanks for your amazing site that helped me to identify this fascinating creature 
We had a great science lesson for all the kids (and adults too) to learn as much as we could after we figured out what we saw! Everyone was relieved to find out they are not stinging insects and were safe to be around Sincerely,
