Old observation from 17 Aug. 2019.
@ 2.40pm
It examined insect holes in an old, rotten birch trunk (my natural insect hotel). The holes were used by Stigmus https://insektenf...99082& and Crossocerus https://insektenf...99138& wasps.
Body length +/- 6mm without antennas and ovipositor. Insect holes 1.5 to 2.0 mm in diameter.
Notice the strange way it walks - see the video https://www.youtu...-7ah1STxhI.

Many Thanks
Ray
