Perhaps? Seems later then the usual phenology for L. magister, with the dark tibia and pronotal spots I see people talking about here. But maybe it’s some other species, too.

Appreciate any comments on what might be happening here wit these wasps? Looks like mating, but are they even the same species?

Host appears to be an Acronicta sp. caterpillar, Ophiocordyceps elongata
Excellent find! Host and morphology are a good match to O. elongata—uncommon.

From BugGuide.net:
'The only eastern species of Cylindromyia with discal bristles on intermediate tergites.'
Discal bristles are abdominal bristles located closer to the centre of the segment than the marginal bristles, which are usually on apical rim (or close to it).

Went back to locale where Malosma laurina shrubs were blooming and found another one of these little flies. Very shy and sneaky—would light on a stem and be very well camouflaged!
