subfamily Braconinae
An attractive, black tinted winged insect with long straight antennae, an abdomen black on top and white underneath with some black spots, orange thorax, black head. As I was trying to set up the camera it fly ever so gently into a spider web. The little orb weaver wasted no time in attacking it but it broke free and fly off. Movie mode would have been better.
