Scelionidae - Trissolcus

Scelionidae - Trissolcus
Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA
December 3, 2007
Size: > 1mm fly, > 0.5mm egg
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.
