Braconinae (female)…
Thanks Ross
Do you have any suggestions regarding the genus or species?
I see there are several other images on BugGuide that look very similar to this wasp, but none of them are identified below Family.
Not to mention, that of all the Braconinae on BugGuide IDed down to species, I could not find any images of wasps with their head, thorax, abdomen, and femur+tibia on the rear legs all bright red. I initially thought it would be easy to ID this wasp by its red body parts alone, but it's apparently more complicated than that.
