Liris argentatus? - Liris - Female
Oakman, Gordon County, Georgia, USA
April 28, 2019
This small wasp was dragging a rather large cricket through rocks, dirt, and leaf litter (at a dense mixed forest edge) for several hours. I'm not sure where it was headed, but it was determined to take its prey with it. ID help is much appreciated! I have no idea! Please feel free to ID the prey (in the comments) as well!
