I've seen this wasp hanging around the sweetpeas for the last day. It's tiny, ~3mm, with pretty metallic colours.

It's likely genus Pteromalus & possibly P. puparum, the white butterfly pupal parasitoid wasp, which tells you pretty much all you need to know 😬

Only one prior confirmed sighting in DE on iNat.
