From the host & size I'd say it must be a braconid of the Aphidiinae Smile

What about an Ichneumonidae, Diplazon sp?

Probably Diplazon tibiatorius (THBG, 1824) female, parasit of larvae Syrphidae.

Indeed, Ries van der Hout told me it looks like a Diplazon, a parasit of Syrphid larvae.

Strange ... maybe there is a hidden syrphid larva somewhere Smile

Probably Diplazon tibiatorius female

Sometimes the egg is deposited in a plant louse or an egg of syrphe, the egg awaits the passage of a larva of syrphe or that the larva of syrphe grows to eat it!
