White Flank Black Braconid wasp II - Callibracon limbatus

Family BRACONIDAE

This page contains pictures and information about Yellow Flank Black Braconid Wasps that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Female, body length  15mm                        

 

This species look very similar to the Callibracon capitator species. We distinguished them by the very long ovipositor and the orange-coloured antenna base segment of this species.
