No smallest size, though. However, they have the smallest EGGS, and if an egg is considered a "whole" animal (since it contains an entire animal at it's most advanced stage... A stretch, but possible if you want to really generalize the issue), then the winner is Zenillia pullata:
Taking into account female size, the smallest insect eggs are the microtype eggs of Tachinidae, which are usually 0.02 to 0.2 mm long but very rarely as long as 0.4 mm. The eggs of Zenillia pullata are exceptionally minute, only 0.027 by 0.02 mm. The volume of the macrotype egg of Gymnosoma sp., another tachinid, is approximately 2000 times the volume of the microtype egg of Z. pullata."
