Eulophidae, perhaps Tetrastichinae, maybe ex Lasioptera solidaginis - Female
Plymouth Rock, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
May 1, 2019
Size: 3 mm
April 19, 2019: meandering through a planted prairie, found 2 low-on-the-stem galls, collected both. Dug a wad of earth around the roots of this gall hence these wasps may not be associated with the gall flies but rather something in the earth and organic matter.


April 27, 2019: lots of gall flies

May 1, 2019: 12 wasps, kept 2, released the rest
The other wasp
