#microhym

Parasitic Wasp of the micro-hymenopteran type.  A lurking micro-hymenopterist will surely narrow this down to some sort of group, but I am out of my comfort zone here, so will leave as a micro-hym.  Note the size of the pin it is glued to.  From the North Tract of Patuxent Wildlife Research Center.  One of the locations that would be impacted if the MAGLEV train is placed onto refuge lands.  An important sand lens region full of both prairie plants under the powerlines and globally rare pitch pine barrens.  Photo by Anders Croft.   A dreamy sort of wasp, not an angry type, not the mouthless appearance.
