Thread subject: Diptera.info :: A Wingless Ichneumon Wasp ??
#1
Found this one yesterday among some French Marigolds...very busy little thing for something so visibly fat. It was about 6mm in length.
No offence to fat people intended.

I guess she wants to get that awfully big load of eggs of her chest, er..., belly.
Gelis sp.?

Might be suffering from SEVERE constipation

. Surely a fan of The Free Movement (lapsed) in dire need of some good ol' A.L. Salts (they have already had their quota of free advertising).
So another
Gelis sp to add to my growing list of non-existent Ichy Wasps in Shetland

.
Thanks Paul

Confusion reigns

Or possibly seeking membership of the new Waffling Garbage Club. I think Paul is seeking membership also, going by recent Wafflings in Shoutbox. Jorge has Automatic Entry

This is a Gelis. Unfortunately I can't identify the species. It seems to me it is a very small specimen and so it might be Gelis festinans (???).

Thank you Camille...this one was about 3 times the size of the
Gelis lucidulus you ID'd for me previously, which was about 2mm body size.
