Bumper Day for Insects

The conditions were obviously ideal for insects today. Here a batch before the rain came. The Chalcid wasp was ovipositing into a knapweed head presumably finding a larva to inject its egg into. There are 1,717 at the last count of this family of minute wasps so chances of ID probably small!! Similarly not much luck with the tiny spider and its fly prey.
