Thanks @DiBickers but I wonder why you confirm things at a higher taxonomy level when we are pretty sure of the genus at least and most likely also species. I think when it shows up as confirmed other moderators will not look at it any more and it will stay identified only at superfamily level when it could have potentially been identified at the species level.

Chalcidoidea (superfamily)

@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)

Pompilidae (family)
