If these are Ichneumonid wasps, I read that they are a very large familly and difficult to identify.  It would be nice to know what they parasitoid on. Thanks for any help. Tim Attachments:

Sorry! They were caught last week in northern Manitoba Canada in one night with a light trap.

I am familiar with the brown wasps - Ophion. They lay eggs in moth and butterfly larva. Get them at my light almost year round in west USA. Many less this year because butterfly and moth numbers are so low. How ever my book says one species of Ophion parasitises May Beetle Grubs - Phyllophaga.

Look for the "horse-head" forewing venation. A tried and true Ichneumonid gestalt. From what I remember... these wasps are largely beetle larvae parasitoids, at least the larger ones.
