Tiny Wasp, Ceraphronidae? - Gryon

Tiny Wasp, Ceraphronidae? - Gryon
Hopkins Gap, Little North Mountain, Rockingham County, Virginia, USA
September 5, 2010
Size: ~1 mm
This tiny wasp was hunting on a long bladed grass in an overgrown field. It encountered a mite which did not seem to interest it much. Looks kind of like Ceraphronidae just based on BugGuide images and comments.

Yes…
Similar to platygastrids, but the antennal configuration is different. Many attack the larvae of gnats, craneflies,etc. Mites are definitely not on their list.
