Hi @Trevor I’m finding it hard to get a good match for this. The wing venation does not match Acanthinevania, or any other type of Evaniidae wasp. Was it alive when you photographed it?

Could this be an ant? I have seen a few that look like this and have wondered if they were queens whose gasters had been picked off by predators

Suggestion based on similarity between this individual and male Nocturnal Sugar Ants.
