I’m not sure there’s enough to go on here but I think this may be a Leucopis. Size estimated at ~2mm from the photos. Found on an aphid covered plant in the butterfly plant section of a botanic garden (Maryland, USA) Thanks in advance for the help

(My apologies for not directly uploading the images here. It never seems to work for me despite following the instructions and trying different browsers)
