A braconid Wasp (f. Braconidae). There are 17000 species in this family of parasitoid wasps. Never trust anything with an ovipositor!

This tiny wasp has been languishing in my iNaturalist account for years so I'm posting here in case anyone can help (cc @bugid). Wing venation sure looks like Chelonus kellieae (Cheloninae, Braconidae). There were thousands at the site, a lawn, flying just above the blades and rarely landing.

Four #wasps from the #Malaise trap (Canberra, ACT) in the week of 19-26 August 2022.
No close identifications yet, but these are 1) #Braconidae, 2) #Chalcididae: #Haltichellinae, 3) #Ichneumonidae: #Phygadeuontinae (should get that one to genus soon, but species likely to be unnamed), and 4) #Chalcidoidea.
All on #iNaturalist if anyone wants to progress their identification:
