Ovipositing in pic 2?

I can't really tell if she's eupelmid or encyrtid! Maybe just under 4mm long, not including antennae. Found roaming dry grass and such in sand scrub.

Host: Leschenaultia sp. (Tachinidae)

caught in sweep net

Prey

hunting UNDERWATER

On Eucalyptus. Apparenlty laying eggs on Glycaspis.

When I first saw this bug, I couldn't tell what I was looking at but the colorful bright reflective surfaces made it appear like it had flashing LED lights on it...

Found roaming grass/sand. Oak/pine scrub

Brampton, ON
Refers to the dozens of small green wasps. I'm not sure what is happening here with the Chalcidoid Wasps, but I'd love to find out.

I photographed this while it was laying an egg, or eggs, in this lacewing egg!! Very cool!

2nd photo is 3 days later.
