Hello,

I observed, a few days ago, a tiny (3-5mm) Hymenoptera which was feeding on a cat's faeces with this Lucilia :

Can somebody orient me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Almost looks like a cynipoid wasp...

Paul,

Thanks for the pointer. I already had Figitids with the same triangular shape on the thorax.

I was rather surprised to see one Hymenopter feeding on faeces.
