Cratichneumon coruscator is a species of the parasitic wasp family Ichneumonidae. [1] [2]
Cratichneumon coruscator can reach a length of 9–14 millimetres (0.35–0.55 in) in males, of 7–11 millimetres (0.28–0.43 in) in females. Adults can be found from May to August. Larvae feed on Panolis flammea and other Noctuidae. [3]
This species is present in most of Europe, in the Near East and in the Oriental ecozone. [4] It lives in hedge rows.
A mongoose is a small terrestrial carnivorous mammal belonging to the family Herpestidae. This family is currently split into two subfamilies, the Herpestinae and the Mungotinae. The Herpestinae comprises 23 living species that are native to southern Europe, Africa and Asia, whereas the Mungotinae comprises 11 species native to Africa. The Herpestidae originated about 21.8 ± 3.6 million years ago in the Early Miocene and genetically diverged into two main genetic lineages between 19.1 and 18.5 ± 3.5 million years ago.
The Ichneumonidae, also known as ichneumon wasps, ichneumonid wasps, ichneumonids, or Darwin wasps, are a family of parasitoid wasps of the insect order Hymenoptera. They are one of the most diverse groups within the Hymenoptera with roughly 25,000 species described as of 2016. However, this likely represents less than a quarter of their true richness as reliable estimates are lacking, along with much of the most basic knowledge about their ecology, distribution, and evolution. It is estimated that there are more species in this family than there are species of birds and mammals combined. Ichneumonid wasps, with very few exceptions, attack the immature stages of holometabolous insects and spiders, eventually killing their hosts. They thus fulfill an important role as regulators of insect populations, both in natural and semi-natural systems, making them promising agents for biological control.
Herpestes is a genus within the mongoose family Herpestidae. Several species in the family are known as slender mongooses. It is the type genus of the family, and comprises 5-6 living species, each with several subspecies. Fossil remains of three prehistoric species were excavated in France, and described in 1853.
In the 10th edition of Systema Naturae, Carl Linnaeus classified the arthropods, including insects, arachnids and crustaceans, among his class "Insecta". Insects with membranous wings, including bees, wasps and ants were brought together under the name Hymenoptera.
Ichneumon insidiosus is a species belonging to the family Ichneumonidae subfamily Ichneumoninae. It was first described by Constantin Wesmael in 1844.
Rhyssa persuasoria, also known as the sabre wasp, is a species belonging to the family Ichneumonidae subfamily Rhyssinae. Members of this subfamily, including those of Rhyssa and the allied Megarhyssa, are also known collectively as giant ichneumonid wasps or giant ichneumons.
Virgichneumon maculicauda is a species belonging to the family Ichneumonidae subfamily Ichneumoninae.
Oxycera trilineata, the three-lined soldier, is a Palearctic species of soldier fly. Boldly marked in yellowish-green and black, it is found in a variety of wetlands, including pools, ditches, fens and swampy river margins. It is found in North European Russia up to Leningrad; Central Asia, Siberia. Western Europe, north up to southern Sweden.
Micrommata ligurina is a species of huntsman spider. It was first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1845.
Gerd Hermann Heinrich was a German entomologist and ornithologist known for his studies of parasitic Hymenoptera of the Ichneumonidae family and for the description of several bird species in Celebes, Dutch East Indies.

Trogus is a genus of parasitoid wasp found in the Holarctic and Neotropic regions. It is placed in the subfamily Ichneumoninae and the tribe Ichneumonini. Trogus species are parasites of larvae and pupae of the swallowtail butterfly family, Papilionidae. The genus consists of twelve extant and one extinct species.
