Hello,

Seen on the 12th April 2006 in Paris, about 5 mm, with this funny reinder-like antennas.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Thanks to both of you.

Eucharitidae are ant parasits and this page (http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~heraty/Eucharitidae.html) gives another kind of antennas.

On the other hand, Eulophidae are parasits of microlepidoptera and this page (http://www.faunistik.net/PONLINE/HYMENOPTERA/CHALCIDOIDEA/EULOPHIDAE/eulophidae.html) specifically says that the male often have reinder-like antennas.

Paul, thanks for moving the thread to the Other insects forum.
