Tiny wasp
This is a female of Eupelmus Dalman (Eupelmidae). It is not possible to be certain of the exact species based on the two images, but most species are primary or secondary larval/pupal parasitoids of insects in concealed locations.

Thank you Richard
Right now, these little wasps (Braconid, Ichnuemon and Chalcid) all kind of look the same to me...there are just sooo many different ones :^O.

Neat.
Simply outstanding images. Thank you for taking such time and patience with the 'overlooked' insect fauna. We hymenopterists truly appreciate it:-)

I really appreciate
the kind words Eric. It is a pure joy and my pleasure to bring these images to Bug Guide. I feel like a young child again (back in the '60's) exploring the fields and woodlands around my home :^).
