This weird helicopter type insect photo I managed to jag with my camera but I don't know what it is. A CIA plant perhaps? Didn't want to put you off the scent by calling it a bee.

It is a parasitic wasp but I can't tell if it is in the Evanioidea or Ichneumonidea superfamily - maybe some-one else can help
