Brown-banded Ichneumon Wasp - Lissonota  sp.

Family ICHNEUMONIDAE

This page contains pictures and information about Brown-banded Ichneumon Wasps that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Male, body length  15mm                                                 

 

This wasp is reddish-brown in colours with white patterns. From it white-banded antenna. On the forewing there is quadrate shaped areolet.

 

 

We found this wasp on Apr 2010 in Karawatha Forest. It was examining the Lerp Insects on gum leaves. We believed the wasp was feeding on the honey dew secreted by them.
