Hi All

Very small, beautiful wasp on some laurel.

I have lloked it up and the only one I can find like it is Chalcid wasp (Ormyrus nitidulus). Just conmcerned that being a wasp there might be abother 20 similar ones?

Thanks, Gareth

I agree, of the 4 GB Ormyrus this is the only one I have seen and it is very common. The other three species do not have such elongated abdomen tip.
