Great find Stacey, it looks like a Gasteruptid wasp (family Gasteruptiidae), thanks for sharing.

I liked this so much… Guess what?

CONGRATULATIONS Stacey!

I would suggest you look into the ichneumon wasp family. I think the long extension is an ovipositor. She’s a beauty! Congratulations on your feature – FAVE:>)
