      Good evening! Yes, I've just updated with two more photos. Can't reach out this family. I'm almost sure but the shape of the head in proportion to pronotum looks very related to raphidioptera, although it cannot be raphidioptera, because this one hasn't membranous wings, in fact they are covered with what appear to be half size elytra.. Body length ~3-4mm, excluding antenna. And it was found in Ophrys, along with formicidae and a few dozen spreaded afids. Thank you! Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago
