Capture in Cne Cessy-les-Bois (Dépt. Nièvre - France) - 25 IV 2013
===================================================
The whitish spot of shape irregular on the neck, is a fragment (dirt, mud, ...) remaining of hibernation of Insect.
Antennae with 38 segments.
-------
The Forewings of this insect seem placed too low.
In our preparation we always try to place them higher, but for some Ichneumonidae it is not possible (at the risk of tearing them).
We thought that it was specific, but we were not able to verify it due to the lack of additional captures.
==========
After an exchange of Messages with Camille Thirion & Geir Oersnes, it turns out that the capture is an hermaphrodite Ichneumon : ♀ (shape of Abdomen & Antennae) with Abdomen of ♂ (8 visible sternits) !
Camille Thirion is going to try to determine the species.
