Echthromorpha intricatoria, also known as the cream-spotted ichneumon, is a common wasp found in Australia[1] and New Zealand.

It cannot sting and does not build nests, and is harmless to humans.

[2] The female injects eggs into pupae of moths and butterflies with the ovipositor, particularly favouring the Nymphalidae (admiral family).

Metacrias huttoni has been shown to be a host species for E.

[3] The body is mostly black with creamy plates on the sides of the abdomen.
