New #IONA feature! The choropleths on the genus page now not only show diversity per state/province, but when you click on one, it will show you the list of recorded species. ichsofna.org/Ichneumonina...

It is a Braconidae, looks like Aleiodes. No need to worry!, just take it through Gavins nocturnal species key first, see where u get, then there are Mark Shaws Aleiodes keys u can work through if needed
📢 Rare parasitic wasp found in #Carlisle 😮
Check out this ichneumon wasp that was found by one of our volunteers, Jane Orgee, in an oak tree at our Gosling Sike site. 👀

Your right, it is Eutanyacra picta, not uncommon. There are quite a number of records on irecord. Not certain if NBN has the resources to keep up with the mapping of ichneumonid records
Its a Ctenopelmatinae ichneumonid. I think its Protarchus testatorius or possbly P. melanurus, their parasitoids of Cimbicidae sawfly larvae, nice find!
Von #Diplazontinae, einer kleinen Unterfamilie der #Schlupfwespen ist bekannt, dass die ♂️mit ihren Antennen die der ♀️ so umschlingen, dass sich drüsige Sinnesfelder an den jeweiligen Antennen berühren.

I think it might be an Adeliinae, Adelius sp, but best to take it through the Braconidae key, www.royensoc.co.uk/wp-content/u...
The symbiont is known to attract Rhyssa ichneumonids. I have seen this often in a species of Rhyssa (Rhyssinae) (so probably the same for your orange Meagarhyssa (Rhyssinae)) when host infested wood is sawn it exposes the fungus (and frass) to the air, easily attracting the Rhyssinae ichneumonid (2)
This looks like a species of Odontocolon (Xoridinae) The hosts are immature beetles and in some cases probably sawflies too, the frass of which probably attracts some ichneumonids in search of hosts. Its known that woodwasp hosts can also introduce a fungal symbiont into the wood on oviposition (1)
Its WORLD WASP DAY!
Private woodland, msg u
Wroughtonia spinator (Lepeletier & Serville, 1827) first record for Shropshire. A rarely recorded species in the U.K. Parasitoids of cerambycid beetles
Its Ophion sp, an Ophioninae, which includes Enicospilus–but they have quite distinctive wing structures and differ from Ophion in other ways. Also purgatus is a North American species, that has not been found in the U.K.
This is Pimpla rufipes
Yes a male of panzeri, the colour of the males can be quite variable
definitely Enicospilus, but i'd need to see a few more details to determine the species
Volume 8 (1) of @integsyst.bsky.social was published on 30 June 2025. It includes the descriptions of 7 new genera and 31 new species of insects. The articles are Open Access and available for download at @bioone.bsky.social:

Most, I would think, will know, they are very probably specimens taken from different locations, over many decades. The data that is attached to them, useful for understanding patterns in species distribution, environmental change etc
Lissonota sp (Banchinae)
This is Enicospilus repentinus. Enicospilus are nocturnal. However, males of some species are regularly found during the day and its thought they maybe rather less strictly nocturnal than females
Male description, bionomics, and phylogenetic placement of Phytodietus (Weisia) clavotibialis Shimizu & Konishi (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tryphoninae: Phytodietini), with insights into the subgeneric systematics of the genus Phytodietus Gravenhors https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40531409/

Smicroplectrus perkinsorum a darwinwasp, collected in Stavanger, Norway
Happy to announce that my paper describing Anisobas irwini and recording two host records for Anisobas coloradensis is finally out! The species name honors the prodigious collector Mike Irwin who collected the holotype.

Definitely not Pimpla, I'm pretty sure it's a Diplazontinae, genus is going to be difficult to say from what can be seen, could be male or female
I mostly put any loose bits in gelatin capsule and pin through the capsule, card otherwise
you can try, europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ej... which i think contains all but 2 on the british checklist, then search for descriptions for the others
