A giant ichneumon wasp (I believe Norton’s Giant/Western Giant, Megarhyssa nortoni) using her ovipositor to inject eggs into the larvae of horntail sawflies that are pupating under the bark. The eggs will hatch in the sawfly larvae and consume them for a first meal 😳 #giantichneumonwasp #nortonsgiantichneumonwasp #megarhyssanortoni #ichneumonwasp #parasitoidwasp #natureismetal #everybodyeats #forestbathing #wyeast
