Region
The range indicated in Info for Earinus limitaris is: "Que. and N. S. s. to Va., w. to B. C. and Calif." Bug Guide has extended the range southward to NC, SC, and GA. In any case, Illiois would seem to be pretty much in the central part of the range of the species.

Braconidae
Probably Earinus limitaris.
