Antennae with prominent bristles. Taken 9 August 2010. West Virginia foothills, elevation 1000 meters. Near both forest and meadow.

Length: 2.0 mm from front of eyes to tip of abdomen; 2.6 mm from front of eyes to tip of wings.

Can someone tell me what this is? Thanks for your help!

Looks a bit like a wasp from the family Diapriidae - just a guess Smile

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
