Butt on Fire - _TNY_1985
While out in the Paradiset nature reserve, looking for blue jewel beetles in an area where there had been a forest fire (as they like to lay their eggs in fire damaged trees), I also came across this braconid wasp.
Unfortunately, my photos aren't enough to conclusively identify it, but it could be a female of Doryctes leucogaster or one of the species in the Atanycolus genus.
With most of the bark on the pine trees being charred and black by the fire, the abdomen of this one really stood out there!
