Was hard to get a good shot of this little #wasp because she was so tiny. Pretty cool though, I found her on some wild lettuce near a bunch of #aphids, several of which had clearly been #parasitized . #Parasitoid #hymenoptera are a huge benefit in the #garden for managing pest insects, but to attract these wasps you need to create and maintain a healthy and diverse ecosystem. Also, at risk of sounding scandalous, check out this girl's #ovipositor , dang lady, you got it going, them aphids have no chance.
