Is this a termite?

This is from Illinois. I think maybe it's a spider wasp, but I don't have any idea what I'm talking about, so I worry that it's a termite.

Is this a termite?

Nah, definitely not. The wing venation is all wrong, termites have lots of long parallel lines on their wings, just like roaches.

I'd agree with it being some sort of wasp, I'm not sure which sort though.

Thanks. That's a nice detail to know for ID.
