| | Ichneumon wasp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As with all hymenopterans, ichneumons are closely related to ants and bees. | | | Often inaccurately called ichneumon flies, they are solitary insects, and most are parasitoids - the larvae feeding on or in another insect which finally dies. | | | Various ichneumons are used successfully as biological control agents in controlling pests such as flies or beetles. |

| | ichneumon fly - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about ichneumon fly |
| | English zoologists revealed in 1999 that ichneumons that parasitize wood-boring grubs and therefore must penetrate layers of wood with their ovipositors, accumulate zinc and manganese from plant proteins, in the ovipositor, thus giving it a metallic strength. | | | The eggs are laid in the eggs, larvae, or pupae of other insects, usually butterflies or moths. | | | She is using her long ovipositor to insert an egg into a larva of the wood wasp Sirex gigas, which lives in a tunnel burrowed into a pine trunk. |

| | Ichneumons are parasites that lay their eggs in or on the larvae of other insects or spiders. | | | The hosts of giant ichneumons are usually the larvae of horntails, or wood wasps (Orocerus gigas), and related species, as well as the larvae of longhorn beetles (Monochamus sutor). | | | The apparently fearsome-looking sting at the end of the female wasp's abdomen is actually an ovipositor (egg-laying instrument). |

| | The Great Ichneumon |
| | Ichneumon larvae feed on other insects and spiders, helping to control insect populations. | | | After the egg is deposited into the larval tunnel of another tree-boring insect, the Ichneumon larva develops by feeding upon this host larva. | | | That larval Ichneumon can prey upon other insects is possible because of the method by which the adult female lays its eggs. |

| | Giant ichneumon wasps can be found in woodland areas from late spring until the end of summer, crawling around on logs and tree trunks that may be infested with wood boring larvae of the horntail wasps (hymenopteran family Siricidae). | | | Although the ovipositor of the giant ichneumon wasps is quite long, don't let it intimidate you -- these wasps do not have poison glands like other stinging Hymenoptera and they are not inclined to stab you with it either. | | | After the egg hatches, the young ichneumon wasp larva feeds on the horntail larva and then pupates in the wood. |

| | Ichneumon Wasp |
| | Because of their feeding habits, Ichneumons are valuable biological controls, which keep the populations of destructive insects down. | | | The female Ichneumon uses her ovipositor to lay her eggs in wood where the young grub locates wood boring beetle grubs and feeds on them. | | | The body of the wasp is nearly 1 1/2 inches in length, but the ovipositor of the female can be nearly 5 inches in length, and though it can pierce several inches of wood, humans need not fear since it is not used for stinging. |
