Say "wasp" & most people think only of those in genus Vespula, the yellow & black ones that are a nuisance around your jam sandwich.

But there are many others, including the 25,000 known species in family Ichneumonidae.

Of which this is one.

Perhaps tribe Exenterini.

Maybe.

Like I said: 25,000 known species 😬
