Ichneumon wasps today in Sussex.

In the UK we have approximately 2,500 species of ichneumonid. Making up almost 10% of all British insects.  They are notoriously difficult to identify.  Ref:  Beginner’s guide to identifying British ichneumonids 

What an diverse range of insects.  There were also lots of Chrysops caecutiens horseflies attempting to bite me, which was quite unpleasant today in the Loder valley.
