a nymph in the hapithinae...
with a Rhopalosomatid wasp parasite. Nice images! I moved one image to Rhopalosomatidae and one image to Hapithinae.

Thanks!
I don't know if I can get any better images of the parasite. It's in a difficult spot.

Did you keep it?
Are you trying to raise the wasp? You commented on my photo a couple of days ago. Mine dug in two days ago and now I'm hoping ... It seems to need sand-like, fine soil.
