外見

The Ichneumonid Wasps has a slender body, often black or brown, highlighted with yellow, orange, or red markings. Their most distinctive features are very long, multi-segmented antennae and, in many females, an extremely long, thin ovipositor extending from the abdomen, which is used for egg-laying.
