Some very young larvae, possibly Zabrachia sp. What's the size?

The brush-like tips of the large setae are quite uncharacteristic of Pachygasterinae, as far as I am aware...

Without attachments 1,5 mm.

@ Paul: yes, in normal last stage or penultimate stage these hairs would be untypical for pachygasterinae, but it is very immature and most likely the hairs do not have their normal shape as is the case with final instar. There is no key for ID to species level in these young stages, but the shape of the anal segment with the long hairs should be characteristic for Pachygasterinae. 1.5 mm correspond with about first-second instar.
