It's been a while, but I'm back with another cartoon! This male Dendrocerus (Megaspilidae) is unaware of two secret admirers, a female Lagynodes (Megaspilidae), and a female Ceraphron (Ceraphronidae). I was inspired to draw this cartoon after seeing a comic yesterday that consisted of two beetles, one with antennae, and one without. The dialogue was in Spanish, but it translated to:

Beetle 1: "What happened to your antennae?"

Beetle 2: "I've gone digital."

Surprised that my macro lens could capture this much detail from a 2mm wasp.
