Hi,

i found Heteroptera eggs with very small parasitoid wasp (2mm) just about to hatch. Is that a male waiting for the female to hatch and then mate with her? I noticed different antenna tip in female.

Found in Slovenia.

Thanks!

They look more like Scelionidae to me, probably Trissolcus or Telenomus. And yes, the male probably waits for emerging females to mate.
Trichogrammatidae have shorter antennae, metasoma broadly joined to propodeum etc.

You cannot decipher abdomen'shape from these photos. While female, to me resemble a trichogrammatid, male is really different, and confirms your theory (especially that scelionid males stay near hemipteran eggs, ready to mate as they can) TumbsUp

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
