Are these wasps? Trichogrammatidae? - Trichogramma
Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon, USA
September 27, 2012
Size: very tiny
Noticed white eggs in clusters on thin plastic netting used as a deer-deterrent fence. On much closer inspection, I saw many hatched eggs in one cluster and in that area, several of these tiny creatures milling around the eggs. After browsing the site I thought they might be parasitic wasps. To give a proper sense of scale, I took these photos with a macro lens on 3 extension tubes. It's been a few months since I took the photos but I don't think these guys were larger than 1mm.
