Fly or Wasp? - Adelencyrtus

Size: ~3mm
I was able to get one images of this bug before it flew away. I don't see any halteres, so it must be some kind of wasp.

This is not ...

Nice image -
I don't know if it's further identifiable, but seems worth moving to Hymenoptera page for now...

I would be willing to put some dough on this: the big middle legs say Encyrtidae to me. Are ther any challengers?

This is pretty much a guess: Encyrtidae (A Chalcid).

I trust your judgement, Andy. Let us know if you want us to move it to Chalcidoidea or Encyrtidae, and Preston or I can move it...

I would agree, Encyrtidae.
The most flamboyant of all the chalcid families....and with over 500 genera!

for taking a look at some of our wasp images, Dr. Buffington!
