This week brings us another member of the subfamily Platygastrinae (parasitoids of gall flies). This time it is a species in the genus Amblyaspis, collected in Slovak hills of meadows and forest.
A recipient requested that a wasp be imaged on a coin to depict its size, and here it is on penny. The specimen that you see on the penny is the same in the high resolution image (please zoom in to appreciate the setation and fine sculpture of the exoskeleton).
