unknown spotted flyer 1 - Longistigma caryae
Cass County, Texas, USA
December 2, 2007
Size: 10 mm
I am at a total loss as to what species this critter actually is. Maybe a wasp, maybe not. It was very active and I only managed to get a couple of less than focused shots that are not worth adding to the guide but hopefully they are good enough to obtain an ID. Help please.

It looks
just like what I captured. Thanks a bunch. I would never have thought to look in aphids for an ID, lol.
