Here are a couple of shots of an Ichneumonid wasp I managed to catch up with it is possibly Eniscospilus ramidulus

I was pleased to be using the EM1.2 and 40-150 f2.8 plus MC-14 as the AF was a real help

Great pose in #1 - I'll go with your ID too - they are so hard to work out those Itchies.

All good images - butterflies never stay there for me!

I very much like the first two Alf, and all in the second post too (I think the last of those is particularly attractive - colours, composition, separation, very nice indeed).
