🔬 Phylogenetic analysis has demonstrated that Pronkia should be elevated to its own subfamily status, Pronkiinae, rather than being grouped with Meteorideinae.

Revised relationships of the endemic New Zealand subfamily Pronkiinae stat. nov. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
The endemic New Zealand braconid wasp tribe Pronkiini (type and only genus Pronkia van Achterberg, 1990) has, until now, been placed in the subfamily Meteorideinae. We obtained the first molecular dat...

I don’t know much about parasitic wasps, except that there are a lot of them and some are very beautiful ! This lovely creature (from the family Braconidae perhaps?), found while looking at fungi in the New Forest this week. #insect #wasp #NewForest

This looks really fascinating! Don't think I've ever seen a gathering like this.
Might be all gathering to some host(s), or all hatched from the same host(s). All female by the look of it.

I'd say yes. Many haven't even heard of the difference between Ichneumonidae and Braconidae! (What are schools teaching nowadays etc grumble mumble 😎)
More seriously, I find most people haven't really heard of them, let alone be familiar with the concept.
