Ichneumon xanthorius

Pleased to find one of these today and pleased that I was able to identify it. Out of all the wildlife Ichneumon wasps are as difficult as any other species mainly because of the lack of information. However there is chunks of info on the internet here and there if you dig deep enough. This wasp was found at ground level and mainly sticking to grass heads and when disturbed would fly a short distance to another grass stem and climb up to the head.
