This tiny parasitic wasp lays its eggs in the egg case of a Preying Mantis. It has strong looking toothed rear legs. Apparently it uses these to clamp itself to a mantis and hitch a ride with it until the mantis lays her eggs. The wasp needs to lay her eggs in the mantis ootheca before the foam goes hard.
