Pics of two tiny wasps taken Yesterday. #1 1.6mm body length and #2 1.2mm body length. Neither had visible wings- well #1 had some vestigial wings. Anyone any idea if these are normal flightless wasps or are they just hatching accidents ? Thanks Brian V.   |

Top is Pteromalidae and bottom is Scelionidae. Both have apterous and brachypterous and polymorphic species.

Thanks for the information Paul- had to use the glossary to understand it  Sounds as if this is fairly common in parasitoid wasps. Brian V. |
