Hi All,

Hope someone can help me ID this insect.

It is very small - images shown are with 4x objective and it hatched from the eggs that can be seen in the first photo.

After some research I believe this to be a Samurai wasp - which lays its eggs inside stinkbug eggs. The larvae kills the stink bug egg and a single adult wasp hatches from each egg.
