parasitoids - Aprostocetus - Male Female
Sunol Regional Park, Alameda County, California, USA
Size: 2mm
These photos are very blurry and just for fun. The female was constantly trying to throw the male off her (left image; she is reaching up with both front legs to try to toss him), and often succeeded (right photo). He would get right back on.
