Still sorting through some from Spain. I only got the opportunity to go bug hunting in the UK a couple of nights ago, but didn't have much luck. Still at least I have some more from my recent trip to process and keep me occupied. Here are a couple of wasps:

Apologies if you have seen this one before. I posted it in the ID thread yesterday, but posting it here as it kind of sits alongside this one and shows off some more of the diversity of wasps:

And just because I can, here is a third wasp (also ichneumonidae) that I took last year in my back garden. I like the dynamic pose on this one

And here's a nice quote around this family of wasps from the great man himself:
"I own that I cannot see as plainly as others do, and as I should wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice."
