Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Encyrtidae ? -> Cowperia

Believe this is an encyrtid wasp, very likely representing a male individual, but maybe I am mistaken.

Found Aenasius sp. to be very similar, but could not find images to compare from species found in Europe.

Found last Saturday, 19.7.2025 in Pötzleinsdorf, near Vienna, Austria, in a forest.

True size is about 1.5-2mm.

Any help appreciated....

Thank you very much,

Mike
