yes. I think so, Dima. Linyphiidae correct. And it seems really a hymenopteran larva! |

Thanks Jorge. I also hoped to narrow the search. Is it ectoparasitic or simply has left the host to pupate? As far as I know, European ichneumonids that infest spiders are either ectoparasites or develop in egg sacs. But they are rather polyphagous, so I doubt we can come to any conclusion knowing the host's family. Maybe I should have tried to rear it... |

They are usually very easy to rear - all you have to do is feed the spider and wait!  All the ones I have reared turned out to be Polysphincta spp. |
