It must be the right season for these brachypterous parasitoid wasps of the Trichogrammatidae, four in one week. There must surely now be sufficient material from which to gain absolute certainty of identification. Some of the pictures (of this and preceding specimens) show clarity of detail in wing and antennae that must be adequate.

Is the ant helping the other insect or trying to get him to leave? What do you think?

Wikipédia: [Les éphémères constituent le groupe d'insectes ailés le plus primitif et, du point de vue phylogénétique, représente le groupe frère de tous les autres ordres insectes ailés. Près de 2 500 espèces sont recensées dans le monde, répartis en sept familles. Insectes de tailles moyenne à petite, ils sont associés au milieu aquatique où les femelles pondent leurs œufs.

Les adultes (dits en France « mouches de mai ») sont connus pour avoir une durée de vie très courte (leurs pièces buccales atrophiées ne leur permettant pas de se nourrir) contrairement aux larves qui peuvent subsister jusqu'à trois années. Celles-ci sont aquatiques et peuvent être phytophages, détritophages ou carnivores.]

The wheel bug eating a piece of banana.

 

I found a wheel bug on my porch steps, so I moved it over to the railing just to see what it would do. It walked around near the praying mantis (in the other photo) and then it found the banana. Neither bug seemed to pay any attention to the other being near by.

The wheel bug (Arilus cristatus), in the family Reduviidae, is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, being up to 1.5 inches, or 38 mm, in length; it is the only member of its genus.

 

The bite of a wheel bug is painful and may take months to heal (sometimes leaving a small scar), so caution is highly advised when handling them. The reproductive cycle of the wheel bug initiates in autumn - now!

I got an Insect Hotel for Christmas - just got to wait and see who moves in or visits!
