The yellow-colored Ichneumon Wasp (Xanthopimpla punctata) plays a beneficial role in agriculture. These wasps are a subfamily of Pimplinae, which are important parasitoids of lepidopterous stem borers of cereals, sugar cane, and other crops; they lay their eggs on moth caterpillars that damage crops. Ichneumonidae is a family within the insect order Hymenoptera. Insects in this family are commonly called ichneumon wasps. Ichneumon wasps differ from typical wasps, which sting in defense (Aculeata: Vespoidea and Apoidea), in that the antennae have more segments; typically 16 or more, whereas the others have 13 or fewer. Female ichneumon wasps frequently exhibit an ovipositor longer than their body. The ovipositor is quite long and arises ventrally before the tip of the abdomen and is permanently extended (in stinging wasps the ovipositor issues from the tip of the abdomen and is withdrawn into the abdomen when not in use). The body length of this wasp is about 15mm. A Female yellow-colored Ichneumon Wasp is sits under the leaves in the dense forest for self-defense at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 02/08/2023.

Antlered Crane Fly (Pselliophora laeta) is a genus of true crane flies mimicking the appearance of a stinging wasp for protection. The larvae of crane flies are known to eat mosquito larvae. They are usually found in and around water bodies. Adults sometimes fly inside houses. They are completely harmless to humans and do not bite. The adult crane fly is anatomically incapable of killing or consuming other insects. Although the adults of some species may feed on nectar, the adults of many species have such short lifespans that they do not eat at all. An Antlered Crane Fly is on the wall at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 30/05/2023.
