Description
I've seen soooo many different types of Chalcid wasps this year; more than 3 dozen have landed on the car in less an hour.
According to Bugguide, there are 2000 spp. in ~470 genera of 18 families in North America alone.
Most are 10mm or less, with many being under 5mm.
IDing them is... challenging... to say the least.
In fact, even at this level of magnification, it's nearly impossible as quite literally some can only be told apart by examining a very specific body part (a leg, antenna, etc.,) under a microscope.
LOL! So, despite searching though hundreds of species images, I still have no idea what this one is.
