About this photo

Perched delicately on an iris leaf, this cryptine surprised me with its slender silhouette and almost supernatural appearance.


I had never encountered it before, yet it seemed at home, motionless, as if silently observing.


With its long antennae, slender abdomen, and haughty posture, this small hymenopteran—often overlooked—belongs to a vast family of parasitoid wasps, the Ichneumonidae, invisible to those who don't know how to look.


A discreet garden inhabitant, whose presence testifies to the unsuspected richness of life, even in the most peaceful corners.
