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.)
