No idea. - Encyrtus

No idea. - Encyrtus
Basking Ridge, Somerset County, New Jersey, USA
June 24, 2014
Found in large numbers on a Crimson Pygmy Barberry bush. Seemed to be searching for something, they were crawling around and when they did fly it was more of that jump/teleport thing that some smaller wasps do. Some had paler faces than others. This is a different individual than the other 2 pictures.

Lovely wasp, great photos
But please unlink this image, since it's a different individual as stated in the remarks?

I asked Dr. Noyes if this is aurantii and he said "possibly."

Moved from Encyrtids.

Encyrtus…
See reference here.
