I just realized there were twisted-wing insects parasitizing this dark paper wasp I saw last year. I went back and found some surprisingly (and completely accidentally) good shots of the wasp’s abdomen; I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me at the time to try to figure out why the abdomen was so distorted.
