Hi everyone,

I tried to have a look in the gallery expecting identifying this little fly, but...
Too hard for me !
They were dozens coming out from the body of a caterpillar.
It happens this morning, near Marseille (France).
Length is about 1mm.

Does anyone can help (Family or genera would be great! Name would be fantastic, but i suppose much more difficult, or impossible...) ?

Many thanks.

With all my best,
Stéphan

It's a hymenoptera

Yes! I completely missed antennae... I'm sorry but using phone makes some details less obvious.
