Sometimes called the Giant Ichneumon, this is the largest ichneumon in Britain and one of the largest in Europe (10–40 mm).
An easy species to identify due to the striking pattern of small white
spots along the entire length of the thin, black body (not just the
abdomen), red legs, long ovipositor and large size .
Widespread but localised, particularly in coniferous woodland
