Photos 15 May 2014, Badem, RLP, Germany. These insects are 2-3mm long. These are parasites of an Apamea species caterpillar that I had hoped to watch metamorph. I have been unable to decide if they are parasitic flies or wasps. There were hundreds of them that emerged from one caterpillar. (I have a second Apamea caterpillar from 2017 that seems to have been parasitized by the same species.)

Thanks. I'll start searching for wasps that attack Apamea caterpillars.

It looks very much like Encyrtidae, judging by the shape of the head and the strong middle legs...

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
