Thanks Phil,
I assumed the Ichneumon was just a bit cold (still cloudy after some rain when I spotted it), but looking closer at some of the shots, I think it's actually missing one set of wings so probably cannot fly.

Amazing as usual. I had no idea some wasps had more than 1 set of wings. Neat.

I love the shot with your finger - very helpful for perspective.

Thanks all for looking and commenting - appreciated

W_D wasps, bees and sawflies all have 2 sets of wings.
