Ian, re your recent posting.
Co-incidentally yesterday I was photographing several members of the Ichneumonidae family one of which is shown above (another now below).
This particular chap was on a tree trunk using its super sensitive antenae to probe down into the moss looking for the caterpillars of moths and butterflies.
When it finds one it uses its ovipositor (big sharp thing at the back) to lay eggs on/in the caterpillar.
The Larvae of all Ichneumonidae are endoparisitoids.
