Size?
Do you happen to know how tall this was? It would be useful to know whether or not it was more than 6 mm tall.

I will check my records tomorrow. If I don't have or can't get a measurement, I probably have pictures showing it next to others for size comparison. For example, the one in the foreground of this picture http://victorspictures.com/p297029259/h254eb67b#h254eb67b is the same as those in this gallery I called rocket. http://victorspictures.com/p3593843

I'll let you know what I can dig up by tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I did not record the magnification. For this type of photography, I generally use whole number magnifications. Extrapolating from the frame size, then, it would be 11mm if it is 1:1, 5.5mm if it is 2:1, 11/3 mm if it is 3:1, etc. I think it's either 1:1 or 2:1, which, unfortunately, doesn't answer the question of whether it is larger or smaller than 6mm.

I think the hole is from a parasitoid wasp chewing its way out.
