Ichneumon suspiciosus

This common Ichneumon was probably looking for somewhere to hibernate when I caught it. It is easy to identify by the white bits in the middle of the antennae , the orangy abdo. and the white tail end. I'd love to know how it got its name; likewise the moth, Suspected (Parastychtis suspecta). Peter Byles, Ceibwr.
