Summary
These are dark slender wasps with very narrow waists, usually fairly large, with long ovipositors. Most species don't have stingers. They are parasitoid on beetle larvae, sawfly larvae, and other kinds of insects; each species is host specific. They don't construct special brood nests, instead flying off after laying their eggs on the host insect. There are many known species, and even more waiting to be identified. They visit flowers for nectar, favoring members of the Carrot family.
