Oops, on that hind wing you can see that I did not merge images very well.

Wowww^2
I second =v='s initial comment (at the bottom of the thread here).
Below is a link to a medium size image from the NDSU website that MJ referenced in his initial remarks:

(The link given by MJ only had a small thumbnail when I just tried to access it.)

Maybe somebody will get it down to species. Nice find!

Thanks Beatriz
for the ecology information. Sometimes that's the only reason I want a name on an insect, so that I can find out more about it. And being a paraitoid on leafmining moths and flies is pretty cool.

I know
I am also a sucker for ecology information. Species interactions of all sorts are fascinating.

You know
the main reason I paid attention to it was because it was "distinctive".

Good detective work!
With that name in hand it is possible to find some information. There are 10 species in the genus, so perhaps it is a different one, but the genus seems certain. I created the page.

With the internet reference you posted
"The chalcidoid parasites (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) of economically important Liriomyza species (Diptera, Agromyzidae) in North America" (page 18) 4 species are listed. Of these 4 only Z. multilineatum
has a range and description that fits. Is that close enough to take this to species or do we need to know the other 6 species to determine?
Thanks Beatriz.

Thanks much..
but I know wasps so poorly that I can't do the taxonomy/hierarchy to find the genus page.
