A Metaphycus dispar parasitoid wasp of the Encyrtidae recently emerged from the parasitised scale insect cocoon in previous post. Additional pictures below.
(Andrena cineraria) One of the most distinctive solitary bees with striking black and grey/white markings. Female Ashy-mining bees excavate small tunnels in the earth to make their nests.
I have never seen one of these before, this one was in the garden.

Photographs from my recent holiday to Croatia. I am trying to find the ID's of some of the insects above, help would be appreciated. The weather there was sunny with temperatures of 35c, nice but probably to hot at times but the insects liked it- there were hundreds!

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?
