This little guy was fast so I only got one pic. It was mostly black with thin yellow lines. Was shaped a little like an ant, but I believe it is a wasp

I looked at the three species
I looked at the three species of this and I know which one it is now by the backside. I remember it. I am moving it over there now. Thank you for the help

Great pic.
I don't seem to get very lucky with these...The streamlined shape suggests the genus Symmorphus.

Check Eumeninae
The folded wings suggest Vespidae. The shape of the abdomen could point to subfamily Eumeninae(1).
