This is a spider wasp (Pompilidae) with a spider. She seems to have chewed off most of the spider's legs (not unusual), and will now drag it off to a burrow somewhere to lay her egg on. The egg will hatch and the larva will consume the spider.

I think this is an Encyrtidae

Hi Sckel

There are a couple of references to Brachymeria sp. (in one case B. villosa) parasitising Trypoxylon sp. - and in Brazil!

In case the links don't come through - just google "Peruquetti Brachymeria Trypoxylon"

Hope you are well - sorry I haven't been very active for a while.

Such a small wasp that it is hard to tell, but I am thinking it is in the family Scelionidae. There are scelionids that are known to attack the stalked lacewing eggs.

Ichneumonidae

Ichneumonidae.

It is nice to note the small parasitic wasp (probably in the family Scelionidae) on the egg mass.

Hi Lauren
Braconidae: Microgastrinae
I can't tell you a genus - there are some "big ones" like Cotesia and Apanteles, but I have no idea how to tell them apart.

Robber fly - Asilidae

Some kind of sawfly.
