@MichaelMulvaney this looks the same as Cardiochilinae sp. that we have on file (link included below for you).
When I had a look at Cardiochilinae food source, it’s says they parasitise moth caterpillars, but @patrickcox has a comment that his picked up a spider and flew away? 10mm size description also fits Cardiochilinae sp.
Do you reckon I should I leave this as is under Spider Wasps (Pompilidae sp.) or perhaps move it to Braconid Wasp (Cardiochilinae sp.)?
Cardiochilinae sp. (subfamily)
