About 2 mm, but the addition of this kind of antenna or feelers.

I searched the Web what is Encyrtidae. And if it could be ...., but still could not find anything with these large antennas. Or what are those things.
Thank Sara

They are antennae, and yes, it is Encyrtidae. I have no keys at hand to check now (not earlier than Thursday) but perhaps by then someone has already spurted out the name.

Very grateful to Paul. It would be great to get to know the name.
I've been looking Encyrtidae, and Sara said, and I found it it seems. Cerapterocerus mirabilis

But still, is not the same.

In the Spanish photo Photography and Biodiversity, have indicated to me that it could be "Cryptanusia comperei (Timberlake, 1929."
Would you agree Info Diptera experts, with this identification?

Thanks and best regards.
