Strictly speaking one celled animals such as amoeba are the smallest animals on Earth.
The smallest animal in the rainforest is likely to be a tiny insect such as a parasitic wasp, a microscopic mite, or a small ant species. These creatures are essential to the ecosystem despite their size.

The animal with the smallest heart is the fairyfly, a type of parasitic wasp. Their heart is so small that it can only be seen under a microscope. Despite its small size, the fairyfly's heart is still able to pump hemolymph (insect blood) throughout its tiny body.
The fairyfly, a type of parasitic wasp, is considered the smallest arthropod. These tiny insects can measure around 0.139 mm in length.

No, I have not experienced the excruciating pain of a parasitic wasp sting.
The application of pesticides will kill the parasitic wasp so there is no need for both.
Parasitic wasps specifically seemed to be used as a natural pesicide, controlling grubs, stink bugs, and other pests that can ruin gardens. There doesn't seem to be any clear answer on a specific predator for parasitic wasps. Though various birds and spiders are natural predators of wasps in general.
The Tanzanian parasitic wasp is smaller than the eye of a housefly
Yes. Parasitic or parasitoid wasps are not uncommon. What they parasitize depends on the species of wasp, but they commonly target insect larvae and spiders. They do not target humans
The fairyfly, a type of parasitic wasp, is considered the smallest insect in the world. It is less than 0.2 millimeters long and nearly transparent, making it extremely tiny.
The scientific name of a parasitic wasp can vary depending on the species. However, parasitic wasps belong to the order Hymenoptera and are known for laying their eggs inside other insects or arthropods to use them as hosts for their larvae to develop.
