Platygastrid…
Can you provide an image of the antennae? Thanx for adjusting the length - really through me off!

See reference here.

Best shot I have ...
Ross,
I remember the antennae looked like long, floppy "hound's ears."
It's probably still out there, if I can find the little sucker. There's frass that's larger. BTW I had loaded with the sweat bee and forgot to change the size :)

Ears…
Both Gryon and Trissolcus females have long clubbed antennae which may represent your "hound's ears". Both are similar morphologically and share similar hosts, but can be separated by the number of segments in the antennae.
