Hi Birdy, do you still have this wasp? If you could get a clearer photo of the veins on the wing that might help to make sure this is Cotesia rather than another Microgastrine wasp

@SimoneC I've added a picture of the veins and p.s. the date on that image is wrong, it was just set that way on the microscope.

Thanks Birdy, the veins match Cotesia
