This Rhopalum clavipes (Crabonidae) with some insect eggs on the metathorax I found some days ago in Deggendorf/Bayern/Germany. I searched for possible parasitoids of the wasp. I found Omalus auratus (Hymenoptera, Chrisididae) and Oebalia minuta (Sarcophagidae), both living in the wasp nests in raspberry branches. May it be that the eggs on the thorax of my Wasp are Oebalia minuta eggs?
