HYMENOPTERA, Mymaridae (Haliday
1839) - (Chalcidoidea) -- <Images> & <Juveniles> Mymaridae. -- The fairy
flies are tiny insects, mostly less than a millimeter long, with linear hind wings. They attack insect eggs, and some species
attack the eggs of aquatic insects. This group contains some of the smallest
insects known; one species of Aldptus has a body length of only 0.19
mm. References: Please refer
