Bracon - Female
Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
November 1, 2024
Size: body 2.5mm
found at an outdoor light. Keys out to Braconinae in both (1) and (2). Keyed further to Bracon in Quicke’s key to this subfamily (1). I haven’t tried to take the ID further using Muesebeck’s 1925 “Microbracon” key.
