Another Tiny, Tiny Wasp
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
July 5, 2016
Size: about 2 mm BL
This looks somewhat similar to a small wasp I submitted earlier, but the abdomen is coloured differently and the head is shaped a little differently. These very small wasps are frustrating for me to ID on my own through the Guide as the lighting and angles from which the picture is taken can change the whole look of the insect.

braconidae
others may be able to tell you more.

To learn parasitica, its easiest to rely on wing venation. You do have at least one other braconid in your submissions but it isn't closely related to this one. It superficially looks more like an Ichneumonid in your submissions.
