Amblyjoppa fuscipennis is a parasitic wasp from the subfamily of Ichneumoninae . The specific epithet fuscipennis is derived from Latin and means "dark wings".
features
The relatively large parasitic wasps reach a size of 16-25 mm. The head, thorax , propodeum, and petiolus are black. The label is cream-colored. A white line drawing runs along the sides of the thorax. There is a white spot at the base of the wing. The guest is orange. The coxae , trochanter and femora are black. Tibia and tarsi are red-yellow. The wings shimmer dark blue. The wing mark is orange.
The antennae are black in the males . The males have a white spot above the eyes.
The females resemble the males. However, there is a white section about halfway along the top of the feelers. There is also a wide white line drawing on the inside of the eyes.
distribution
The species occurs in large parts of Europe. The species is represented in the British Isles . In the north, the occurrence extends to Scandinavia. Their occurrence extends in the south to North Africa, in the east to the Middle East (Iran).
Way of life
The ichneumon wasps can be seen from June to August. They are often found in hedge biotopes. The species is a koinobionter endoparasitoid of different swarmers . These include the privet hawk ( Sphinx ligustri ), the pigeon tail ( Macroglossum stellatarum ), the small wine hawk ( Deilephila porcellus ), the medium wine hawk ( Deilephila elpenor ), the bumblebee hawk ( Hemaris fuciformis ) and the skull hawk ( Acherontia atropos ). The females occupy the caterpillars with one egg each. The hatched larva develops in its host and finally pupates within the host pupa, in which it also hibernates before it hatches in the following late spring.
