Really small insect
Mymaridae is a family of wasps commonly known as fairy wasps.
They are a very old group of tiny wasps. When I say tiny, I mean really small. The smallest species don't even reach 0.15 mm in length. They are parisitoid wasps and lay their eggs inside the eggs of other insects.
Distribution:
Fairy flies can be found in all temperate or tropical regions and are actually very common, but good luck spotting them.
