Fairyfly
Fairyflies (the family Mymaridae) are tiny, slender wasps in the Chalcidoidea that include the smallest of all insects. There are over 1400 species in ca. 100 genera worldwide. Fairyflies parasitize the eggs of larger insects, primarily Hemiptera. As such, they are among the more important biological control agents known, attacking many pest insects.
