About 2.7mm body length taken today on my car. South coast UK.
Any confirmation?
Thanks Brian V.

I only started seeing Figitidae when I ran a malaise trap - but they are still one of my favourite small wasps :D

For reasons I don't understand, bugs seem to like my car and it's a great surface to photograph them on. Perhaps because I don't use it that often.
