a 0.5mm long male Anagrus atomus parasitoid wasp of the Mymaridae family found in the same colutea/rose bush in the garden as the female of this species a couple of days ago. Additional pictures below can be viewed larger with a click but show little extra detail because half a millimetre is pushing the capability of my set up! Lowest two pictures show the even tarsal segment length, and glabrous area of forewing toward the lower apex - both points are specific (note that the glabrous area is much more clearly defined in this male than the female a couple of days ago).
a 0.6mm long female Anagrus atomus parasitoid wasp of the Mymaridae family found in the colutea/rose bush in the garden. Additional pictures below can all be viewed larger with a click. Sessile body and 4 tarsal segments = tribe Anagrini. Funicle segments are all roughly equal in length, forewings broaden toward apex = Anagrus. 1st segment of hind tarsi not longer than 2nd, area of forewing toward apex in lower half thinner pubescence than rest of wing, 0.6mm length = Anagrus atomus. An egg parasitoid of leafhoppers.
A beautiful 0.6mm long female Anagrus atomus parasitoid wasp of the Mymaridae family found in rough grass in the garden. Additional pictures below show details that help with identification when compared to a key. Note glabrous patch on lower half of forewing at its widest point.
