Hi other insektforum,

Yesterday I found a tiny wasp(?) with rudimentary wings.
Size ~3-4mm (incl. antenne)
Place: Amsterdam forest - Netherlands

My first impression was an Ant, but with such antenne it'll be a wasp.

Any idea about family or/and specie?

Platygastroidea, probably a scelionid.

Cheers,
Dieter

Pauly (Belgium) says :to looks towards Ceraphronoidea or Proctotrupoidea!

Proctotrupoidea in a modern sense, i.e. excluding Platygastroidea, doesn't fit. But Ceraphronoidea is a good idea and I'm inclined to agree with that.

Cheers, Dieter
