Who could tell me something about this small wasp? Or where could I get more information?
I found it ovipositing on the aphids I was going to feed to my ladybird larvae.

It seems to be a species of the family Braconidae, subfamily Aphidiinae.

Thank you.

So it seems my ladybird-larvae are not at risk I gather?

The wasps will not parasitse the ladybirds. I do not know if that happens, but in the worst case the ladybirds may recognise a parasited aphid and leave it alone. Still, I think they are usually such fierce feeders that they will hardly be stopped eating any aphid, parasitesed or not.

Then be ware not to collect any aphid mummies because these will yield additional wasps.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
