Thank you Gerard and nice to see you back! Nikita But I'm still waiting for other opinions (or confirmation of Gerard's opinion as well). Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hi Gerard. Looking at your ID at: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=6&thread_id=2851#post_12144 I did understand that I don't need any other opinions. So, Scelionidae and thank you again. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I think that this is micro wasp from fam. Platygastridae. This photo is not very good and scelionids and platygastrids are habitually alike. |

Hmm, I think I would agree. The colour of the antennal flagellum appears to be clear orange and I recently saw some platygastrids with that antennal colour. Moreover, there is no wing venation visible at all. I think with a scelionid we should at least see some trace in this picture.

Hello Nikita, Well, I still stick with Scelionidae, because indeed they are ver much alike. The thing I always noticed for Platygastridae is that they are more or less a little 'humpbacked', by which I mean that the head always seems to be a bit bend down, so the thorax seems to be a little humped. In this case I don't see that, so I would still guess it is Scelionidae!  Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

The rather swollen femora on the second image also remind me more of Platygastridae...
