Caption
These are tiny parasitic wasps that develop inside the eggs of other insects. Their mother inserted her eggs into the eggs of another insect, and they little wasp larvae hatched and grew, using the insect egg for food. Now they emerge to find more eggs. There are many species of egg parasites, we don't know what species or family this is.
