User's notes
One of the strangest insects sightings I've seen. The tiny wasp had what appeared to be an interesting evolution of its head shape, with a deep cleft down the front of the head out of the base of which the antennae protrude. This appears to have affected the forward vision of the compound eyes for anything that is close to the front of the head. The wasp had three simple eyes on top of its head, just behind the cleft. The wasp was missing a leg on its right side. The fourth image shows the underside and the fifth image gives an indication of the wasp's size. Additional close-up details are provided in following sighting 4484821 to help with identification.
