People on inaturalist say this is an ichneumonid wasp. I found her in a park by my house
They are correct! I love her she’s doing a great job doing waspy things. Thanks for submitting! As always, submissions don’t count towards the one (1) nice bug per day.

I like to think this little grasshopper is this mama moth’s sidekick! 😃 so cute. Is this as gypsy moth? Thanks!
They’re for sure pals, doin’ bug stuff together. I love them. It actually looks like an Achemon sphinx moth, Eumopha achemon. Gypsy moths aren’t quite as striking looking (sorry, gypsy moths). Here’s a female (top) and male (bottom) gypsy moth:
