Parasitoid Wasp ID Request - Telenomus
Lancaster, Ohio, USA
July 18, 2015
This is the first wasp species I noticed on the fresh eggs. I haven't seen this one again since the second species showed up. This one is solid black and the body is thicker. The other one (see related pictures) has green and yellow iridescence, with much thinner body.

Telenomus…
This image appears to be that of Telenomus. Not sure of the species in your other images. It is not that unusual for multiple species of egg parasitoid wasps to show up on a clutch of stink bug eggs, especially when those eggs have been freshly laid.

See reference here.
