Podagrion sp.?
I was given a praying mantis ootheca and told that it was not viable. I kept it in a vial and, a month or so after receiving it, I noticed that the jar was full of mantis nymphs and tiny wasps. This is one of the wasps. It was difficult to get decent photos because they are so very tiny.
I know that the ootheca was collected in the US, but I am not sure where.
Many flies and other insects were eating the fermenting sap of this tree stump (cut in the fall)
