I sent this one off along with some Coleoptera for ID, to be told it was Hymenoptera. It is maybe 2mm long (max) Anyone here ID it? Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [114.89Kb] |

Yep, it's a small wasp of the family Bethylidae, but genus/ species will be difficult from a picture! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Hi Jorge I think it looks like a cross between some form of Coleoptera (the head) and an Ichneumon Wasp (the rest of it). Thankfully....not stung, if it's as bad as you say. Regards Roger |
