a tiny Cuckoo Wasp, pausing her forage for a quick rest.
I very rarely witness cuckoo wasps at rest, and its even rarer that they allow me to get close, so I am especially pleased with this photo.
Unknown Cuckoo Wasp (family Chrysididae).

Male small mayfly, Baetinae, Baetidae
Male small mayflies in the family Baetidae differ from females in that they have seven eyes rather than five - 3 simple eyes, 2 compound eyes,and 2 turbinate eyes on top of the head. These upward-facing eyes are thought to be used for spotting females during aerial mating.
