Scelionidae - Trissolcus

Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA
December 3, 2007
Size: > 1 mm

Color is desaturated for better viewing. I know these images are rough but these are extremely small. Eggs laid 11/20 or 11/21. Hatched 12/03. Located on opening to garage door framing. The close up of just the hatchlings is desaturated in color to better adjust for viewing. When I first noticed the eggs there were adult (flies? that looked like the hatchlings) in the webbing for two days. This and the size difference makes me think the eggs were just hosts. I have photos of each day only changes were in color from tan to color at hatching.

Moved to Scelionidae

Sorry all. I thought these had gone the way of frass. I'll recheck the original images and see if I can better clean the noise for a better image. Thanks for the ID and sorry for letting them sit so long.

Thanks John

Thank you John. This sure does seem to be Scelionidae. I think the images are poor, so should they go to frass? Thanks for the ID though. They will stay in my collection as a new bug around the house.

yes

These are probably a bit too grainy for the guide, but a cool find nonetheless
