Hi flyforum Taken yesterday in V?lega - Ovar - PORTUGAL (near Atlantic Ocean and about 35 km south of Oporto). I found this one near orange fruit tree. 4:1 magnification photo. the wasp has minus 2 mm. the precise lenght is about 1.9 mm +/- 0.1 mm . I thought in Pteromalidae wasp, but not sure. I hope that ID to genus level can be possible. Ah! I have the specimen! It is alive yet and in very good condition.  to see bigger go: http://www.flickr...821&size=l thank you!

Hello Jorge, For sure a pteromalid, but with such a big family with a lot of look-a-likes it is impossible to go beyond that!  For that one would need a specimen. Greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
