Sakhalinencyrtus leleji: A new species of Encyrtid Wasp from Middle Eocene Sakhalinian Amber.
[sciencythoughts.blogspot.com]
The Encyrtidae are a large family of parasitoid Chalcid Wasps, primarily targeting members of the Hemiptera (True Bugs), although some target of Ticks and others are hyperparasites, with their larvae growing inside the parasitic larvae of other Wasps. The first known fossil species assigned to the family, Encyrtus clavicornis, was described from an Oligocene shale from Rott in Germany in 1938. Since this time a further eighteen species have been discovered, Archencyrtus rasnitsyni, Sugonjaevia sakhalinica, Kotenkia platycera, and Encyrtoides pronotatus, from Middle Eocene Sakhalinian Amber, Eocencyrtus zerovae, Eocencnemus sugonjaevi, Eocencnemus vichrenkoi, Eocencnemus gedanicus, Glaesus gibsoni, Rovnosoma gracile, Sulia glaesaria, Protocopidosoma kononovae, Dencyrtus vilhelmseni, Archaeocercus schuvachinae, Trjapitzion cylindrocerus, Ektopicercus punctatus, and Efesus trufanovi, from Late Eocene Baltic Amber, and Copidosoma archeodominica, from Miocene Dominican Amber.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Tbh, that’s amazing. Though I hate those insects. But from a scientific POV, it’s really exciting. But, you know, I wouldn’t like to see these pics at night before going to bed. A week ago, I had my so-called wasps issue. I’m lucky to have a friend who works at [enviropcs.com.au], so he helped me to get rid of those rests. They made a nest near my house, and my kids were bitten a few times. Luckily they had no allergic reaction. So, no more wasps at my place. Anyway, keep us updated. Waiting for your reply.
