Tiniest wasp I’ve ever caught. I think it’s making galls on our yellow bell plant. I will try to take a magnified photo eventually!!!
When I caught it it was more blue like on painted China.
we think this is a tortoise beetle larvae but not sure. It has a whale-like tail which is curled over it
Watched the larva form into a chrysalis.
