All dressed up...

...and nobody to scare.

Halloween isn't celebrated around here. So, I wonder why that little bug bothered?
Does anyone have an idea what bug that could be? It looks quite funky, doesn't it? :)

  1. I think that its a Yellow-banded Ichneumon Wasp. They lay their eggs inside caterpillars which the grubs eat from inside, We have a variety here that preys in large white butterfly caterpillars. It's gruesome enough for Halloween.
