Is this Microchrysa polita or Lejogaster metallina? Or both? Which one is mimicking which? Sorry about the duff photo's, they were taken before I bought a proper Macro lense Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [181.85Kb] |

Both seem to be Microchyrsa polita. Top one is a male, the bottom one is a female.
