Another of its common names is stump stabber referring to this behaviour.[3] EtymologyMacrurus is from the Greek words {{lang|el|makrós}} ({{lang|el|μακρός}}) meaning "long", and {{lang|el|oùrá}} ({{lang|el|οὐρά}}) meaning tail.[4]DescriptionMegarhyssa macrurus has a reddish-brown body approximately {{convert|2|inch|mm}} long.{{cn|date=April 2018}} It has black and yellow-orange stripes.[1] Its wings are transparent and the body elongated. The body and ovipositor together can be more than {{convert|5|inch|mm}} long. Males are smaller (and have no ovipositor).[1]The ovipositorThe ovipositor appears as a single filament, but it comprises three filaments. The middle filament is the actual ovipositor which is capable of drilling into wood. This central filament also appears to be a single filament, but is made of two parts. These parts have a cutting edge at the tip. They interlock and slide against each other. Although very thin, the ovipositor is a tube and the egg moves down a minute channel in its center during egg laying. The outer two filaments are the sheaths which protect the ovipositor. They arc out to the sides during egg laying.[1] DistributionM. macrurus is found across the eastern half of the United States, reaching into the extreme south of Canada near the Great Lakes.[5]BehaviourM. macrurus is harmless to humans;[1][6] they are parasitoids on the larvae of the pigeon horntail (Tremex columba, Symphyta), which bore tunnels in decaying wood. Female Megarhyssa macrurus are able to detect these larvae through the bark, and lay their eggs on them; within a couple of weeks, the Megarhyssa larvae will have consumed their host and pupate. They will emerge as an adult the coming summer.[1]SubspeciesSubspecies include:[7]
