Don't know what species the wasp is but it looks like it has a couple of Strepsipteran parasites in it's abdomen. Please see here.

Looks like they are males. Would be interesting to see what would pop out if the wasp were kept alive in captivity.

I did not see this genus listed as a host in this checklist of Strepsiptera from the US and Canada.
