The Amazing Ichneumon |
 | | Ichneumons are often incorrectly referred to as flies, but they are directly related to wasps and bees. |
 | | Ichneumon wasps are economically and environmentally important because their larvae feed on and destroy many insects injurious to humans and plants, especially to food crops. |
 | | Ichneumons are important in the control of clinch bugs, boll weevils, codling moths and asparagus beetles, just to name a few. |
