Wasp-like, around two mm, incredible legs.
Unfortunately, I only had time to take one picture before it went away. It is not very good, but I think it shows enough...

it seems the shape of the legs is related with "handling" their preys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcididae...
Thank you, Juan, I can allways count on you. But the question remains, what those legs are good for?
This is a Chalcidid wasp
Sometimes I do something right... Tx Ava :-)
I'm going to have to start using "for Darwin's sake!" It's excellent.
For Darwin's sake, I wonder wich kind of evolutive advantage legs like these can give to this guy???
