Hi, this tiny wasp was running along my zucchini plants yesterday. Roughly 2mm long, with white tarsi and the wings bent flat over the abdomen.

Today I checked if I could find it again, but on the same stem only saw a Camarota - which has quite a similar appearance!

I think Encyrtidae, but not sure.

I think the last image is Camarota curvipennis, Chloropidae

Hey Paul, you are thinking correct. I mentioned it in my initial post, but maybe I wasn't clear Smile
