Description

A new one for me. Never seen one of these before. Small at about 6mm and my best idea of what it is would be Diplazon laetatorius Hover Fly Parasite Wasp. Known to feed on hover fly eggs. Cute little guys! Thanks for looking. Bruce

Awww! Look at those cute little mandibles! This is a gorgeous specimen and I love the crisp, intimate clarity! Wasps are such intriguing and elegant creatures and this does great justice to whatever breed it might be. I love the face and those compound eyes like the most expensive, modern, and fashionable sunglasses. This is marvelous!
