Dramatic_Hammer-
I didn't look properly earlier, so didn't spot that it wasn't a wasp. It's not a wasp, I think--the legs and antennae look more beetle-like, but of course the whole body doesn't. Perhaps it's an insect that as an evolutionary adaptation has come to mimic the look of these wasps. I have no idea what it is, though. (It's definitely not an ant.)
