Thanks.
Doesn't do a lot for it at all- the aphid is dead- that's the cocoon of an Ichneumon wasp so I've been told (I thought it was a fungus fruiting body).

Hiya Brian,
Excellent shots/captures amazing to find one so intact,

It sorta reminds me of an upside down A.W.A.C.S. Pod :lol: for those that don't know Airborne Warning and Control System.

Cheers for now

You must mean like this. Never did catch one emerging, but did get the ichneumon injecting aphids.

That's pretty wild Brian! I knew that there are a lot of insects that feed on aphids, but didn't know that a wasp would use one to feed larva :cool:
