Megarhyssa Aurantia
''Megarhyssa'', also known as giant ichneumonid wasps, giant ichneumons, or stump stabbers, is a genus of large ichneumon wasps, with some species known for having the longest ovipositors of any insects. They are idiobiont In evolutionary ecology, a parasitoid is an organism that lives in close association with its host at the host's expense, eventually resulting in the death of the host. Parasitoidism is one of six major evolutionary strategies within parasiti ... endoparasitoids of the larvae of wood-boring horntail wasps. The ovipositor can be mistaken for a large stinger.

Megarhyssa Greenei
''Megarhyssa greenei'', also known as Greene's giant ichneumonid wasp, is a species of large ichneumon wasp. It is known from the United States and Canada. Description and identification It is very similar in appearance to '' Megarhyssa macrurus'', but the latter species has a relatively longer ovipositor (about 2x the total body length, where ''greenei'' is only slightly greater than 1x), and usually has more extensive dark wing markings. ''M. greenei also'' lacks the dark striping on the face present on ''M. macrurus.'' References External links Photos oBugGuide.net Ichneumonidae Insects described in 1911 {{Ichneumonidae-stub ...
