I have taken that one the 13/06/2011, again in the wood of Lauzelle, Louvain-la-neuve, Belgium. On Rubus, close to a wet area.
It measures between 1 and 2mm.

Any idea? ;)
Isn't it an hymenoptera?

Cheers,

Olivier

Hymenoptera. Ichneumonoid, judging from the number of antennal segments.

Perhaps Braconidae for me?

From what I could make out of the wing venation I would have thought so but I cannot say I was without doubt.

;)Me, it is by the shape of the abdomen that I suppose but with reserve!
