Hello! For this one I don't even have an idea about the family. Found on September-17 at the wall of our house (Ostwestfalen/Germany), size about 5 mm. Any hint appreciated, thanks in advance!

I also think that it is an ant (Formicidae). Regards, Christian |

antennas don't fit for an ant. |

Hello! Many thanks to you all! I must admit that my first impression of this was of "something antish like", the second thought was: "or is it an ant???", but at last I thought: "no, this can't be an ant because of the unkinked antennae"...

I know there are males with almost straight antennas, but never with this appearance - i mean with beads!!! Almost all ants have elbowed antennae exception to the males. But these antennae are very unusual. |

I was not worried about the antennae but mor the general shape of the head with the bulgy eyes.

i suspect that it is some kind of an obscure wasp. I might be wrong though. |

Hello! cthirion wrote: no lateral view? Unfortunately not. I mostly try to get also lateral shots of the animals, but in this case it was difficult from it's position. It appeared rather flat to me - another reason, why I did not think of an ant finally.

Hi Juergen, I'm absolutely not sure but it looks like Bethylidae to me. I'd even say maybe, just maybe a Goniozus sp??? Andr? Jas |

Hello! Juergen Peters wrote: just have to check what I can find about it. I see it's a very interesting group ranging from parasitism to primitive social behaviour. If it is Goniozus: there is only one species listed in our region, Goniozus claripennis, parasitizing on lepidoptera larva (Tortricidae, Pyralidae etc.).
