Eulophidae…
The antennal configuration, four-segmented tarsi, a constriction between thorax and abdomen, characteristic wing venation, the scutellum with a pair of submedian longitudinal lines, and a short, straight protibial spur ID this family. This is a female.

Just curious
What makes this one a female? Most of the male Euplectrus we have in the lab have this narrow, bi-colored abdomen. Is there something else that gives the gender away?

EDIT: Duh, silly me- can see the ovipositor right there. Never mind.
