Found 3 chalcid wasps yesterday in the garden with a bit of a size range. Think #1 is the smallest one I've captured.

Great shots. Amazing magnification :)....

0.7mm...so tiny...I wouldn't be able to spot it. Even if i shot it, i'd think it's dust on my sensor :D

THanks for the comments Linda and Khall :)

Linda- They are often beautifully coloured and textured- just a pity they are so small :)
