Torymid from midge gall - female

Torymid from midge gall - Female
Florence, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
On 3/20/2011 I collected a dead herbaceous plant (Asteraceae?) with opposite branching, with a number of stem swellings that I suspect were caused by a Neolasioptera species, but certainly a cecidomyiid in any case. On 4/18/2011 I found this wasp dead in the bag.
