Thank you! Was able to make an id in that family. I believe it is a Leucospis histrio ssp. vespoides. The recent conditions seem to be promoting them, or maybe they’re more plentiful while hunting out bee larvae as hosts.

I’m no expert, but because of the way the ovipositor curves around the abdomen, I’m guessing something in Leucospidae

It could be Leucospis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucospis) which are parasitic wasps that prey on solitary bees
