Thank you so much, Jellis!! Does look like that for sure.
Jellis
right now I can't research it but it looks definitely a parasitic wasp

Try this family Ophioninae

Looks like it's related to the one I posted. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/26824041 Not the exact same but probably in the same family. Was there sand or soil where you found it?
