Stilleven met teddybeer - Still life with teddy bear

Looks like a shadfly hanging on a screen.

This fossil has no label, but it may be from the Lower Cretaceous Santana Formation / Crato Formation of Brazil.

The insect appears to be a hymenopteran (wasps, bees, and their relatives).

Classification: Animalia, Arthropoda, Insecta, Hymenoptera

Dragonfly perching on its favoured tent peg.

A rather beautiful Pachyneuron solitarium parasitoid wasp of the Pteromalidae found in the garden birch tree. Additional pictures below showing the important clypeus areas and wing veins. Love the metallic texturing of these, must do more with Pteromalids (but probably won't.)
