Tiny Eggs Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, USA October 8, 2020 Size: ~0.7mm
I recognize this is a very poor quality photo, but I thought it should still be documented with the others. I looked in the container today and found these tiny bugs that I believe to be parasitic wasps which emerged from some of the eggs.
I thought they were dirt at first, so I wasn't ready when I opened the container, and this is all I could get. Even with a lens for my phone, I could barely see anything. They definitely have clear wings and definitely fly, but beyond that I have nothing.
Edit, Oct 9: It kinda looks like it belongs to the genus Trichogramma. I have a couple more pictures that are slightly higher quality, but they aren't great. I'll replace them soon.
Edit, Oct 10: I changed the picture and added a couple more. I believe all of them hatched, and I let them go outside, which is when I got this picture.
