Hi,

I collected those parasited caterpillars of what looks Pieris cf. brassicae.

From the caterpillar came this wasp. The image of bad quality since I took the photo through the container.

Size about 7mm, Is it possible to ID?

I'll try to get better images soon.

Small size, cell in rhombus on the wing, narrow, post half of abdomen weabkly compressed

Perhaps Mesochorinae Mesochorus sp?

Here a better photo of the wasp. A view to the wings.

Does it still looks like Mesochorus sp. ?
