Ichneumon Fly - Pimpla sp.
Location: Tower Road, Melksham
Resources: http://www.langstoneharbour.org.uk/langstone-ark-pic.php?id=236
Notes: Possibly a hypochondriaca. This is a male. The female has a long ovipositor that can be seen coming out much further than its wings, which is used for laying eggs and - if you're unlucky - for stinging.
