Cotesia congregata? -
Cotesia congregata
Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, USA
September 13, 2014
I found a Manduca sexta caterpillar that had been parasitized. I put it in a bug house until the adults emerged. Based upon comments in the guide it seems as if they are Cotesia congregata.

You are probably right. I am just playing it safe. Feel free to move it to congregata if you want.

Yes…
The host appears to be correct, so
C. congregata
would most likely be the parasitoid in this case.
See reference
