tiny wasp
Aromas, San Benito County, California, USA
December 31, 1969
Size: ~2-3mm
Another tiny wasp on the lip of a large flower pot in our garden. Looks like there are 2 sets of wings, so I assume it is Hymenoptera & not Diptera. (live oak/chaparral habitat).

I agree
Dark-winged Fungus Gnats (Family Sciaridae) very similar to Photo#76462.
