Hi everyone, I tried to have a look in the gallery expecting identifying this little fly, but... Too hard for me ! They were dozens coming out from the body of a caterpillar. It happens this morning, near Marseille (France). Length is about 1mm. Does anyone can help (Family or genera would be great! Name would be fantastic, but i suppose much more difficult, or impossible...) ? Many thanks. With all my best, Stéphan stephan attached the following image:  [125.17Kb] |

It's a hymenoptera so Hymis forum is a better forum to ask |
