I would appreciate help in identification of this small wasp measuring around 3.5 - 4mm. It was photographed in Cape Town, South Africa a few days ago. It is an excellent ant mimic although the effect is lost at high magnification. It flatly refused to fly and the two white stripes on the wing had me thinking there was a noded petiole before the photo magnification revealed otherwise (squinting reproduces the effect partially by removing some detail). Thanks for the help.

Best Wishes

Philip
