Tiny Wasp - Megastigmus - Male
Morris T Chernesky Park, Saskatoon and Area, Saskatchewan, Canada
May 19, 2019
Size: 2-3mm
This wasp landed on my arm while I was looking for bugs in the shrubbery at Morris T Chernesky Park. I am thinking it is Family Braconidae.
It was a warm sunny day, fairly windy and temperature was about 16-17 °C.
