May 01, 2006, Naro-Fominsk, Moscow region, Russia.
Size was not recorded, when compared with a Chrysosplenium flower it should be 2 to 3 mm.

Size was not recorded, too, but I think it's around 4 mm.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Hello Jorge,
I strongly doubt that the first one is a Tiphiidae (maybe some Chalcidoidea, too), while the second one does look similar to a Torymidae picture @ http://www.hymis.eu.

The first looks like a chalcid wasp, with its bent-down antennae ... but I'm not sure which groups have wingless species. The second looks like Megastigmus of the Torymidae Smile
