These two Short Tailed Ichneumon Wasps (Ophion spp) were attracted to the outside lights this morning (E Dalhousie, Kings Co). The first one was on the post: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9503145680/ And the second was about 1ft above it attacking a moth: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9503147504/ I read later that this subfamily of Ichneumons (Ophioninae) almost always deposit their eggs in moth caterpillars. So I am not sure why this one was latched onto an adult moth. Any ideas? Nancy
