In your species profile for the Ichneumon wasp Ophion obscuratus, you state in the "when to see it" section the time frame April to October.  However, in Paul Brock's recently published photographic guide book, he states "August to February" - almost the complete opposite!

Hi Adrian

 

Welcome to NatureSpot!  I agree that our information was misleading.  Looking at all records that I can trace from various sources including our own records, Ophion obscuratus seems to have been recorded in most months of the year other than June and July. We do have quite a few records from March/April so I have amended our species page to read August to April or early May (which at leat brings it a little closer to the dates in Paul Brock's guide.
