Conura amoena
I found this very little wasp in the school that I teach, on a urban area with predominance of Cerrado, but in a transition with the Atlantic Forest.
Hi Leonardo. This is a chalcid wasp in the family Chalcididae. Probably in the genus Conura - which is widespread throughout the New World. These are parasitoids of a variety of things - but most commonly Lepidoptera pupae. There have been several other spottings of these wasps from Brazil in Project Noah (just search on Conura).
