There was another TST egg oviposited and that egg was emptied hollow by one of these tiny predators. I need to add him to my list of enemies as soon as I know what to call him. *The triangular head has a proboscis used like a syringe. (Inserts into the tiny victim or tiny caterpillar eggs.) *Along the sides of a tapered (or long triangular) body there are white markings. *At the rear end is a hairlike loop. Thank you in advance...
