Brachymeria sp.
Chalcid Wasps are so interesting to me because of their swollen hind legs and posture. They are also parasitoids; most parasitize eggs or immature stages of other insects or arachnids while others feed on plant tissue or make galls
Flooded forest; mostly oak. It seems that the flooding encouraged many creatures to hang around the walkway that goes through the forest
