Are these wasps? Trichogrammatidae?
Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon, USA
September 27, 2012
Size: very tiny
Noticed white eggs in several clusters on thin plastic netting used as a deer-deterrent fence. There were many hatched eggs in one cluster and on closer inspection, several tiny creatures milling around the eggs. After browsing the site I thought they might be parasitic wasps. This is a close-up of intact eggs to aid identification.
