Hello,

this 1.5 mm wasp I found last night under an ivy leaf in our garden (northwest Germany). Very conspicuous colouration, but I can't even find a similar one, nor its family.

Hi Jürgen, I think it's one of the Aphelinidae (Parasitoid of Aleyrodidae White Flies) - Encarsia? Cales?

Thanks a lot, Eric! Aphelinidae is a new family for me. The pictures of Aphytis look very similar (I have to check your other proposals) and Aleyrodes proletella was abundant here during the last few weeks.
Best regards,
Jürgen
