Rider of Rhyssa (Rhyssa persuasoria). One of the biggest riders. 30-40 mm long. The coat is black with white spots, the legs are red. Females have a long ovipositor that exceeds the body length.

Distribution. Eurasia, except for the tropical zone, North America.

Habitats. Mainly coniferous forests, as it is a parasite on the larvae of barbels and horntails [2].

Females have the ability to find horntail larvae located deep in the wood (up to 40 mm). Then, with the help of a long ovipositor, it bores the wood and lays eggs on the larvae or in the passages laid by them.
