Our yard has been invaded with low flying, blacking looking bugs that resemble wasps. They fly just above the grass. Any idea what they are?

No idea, but I just saw a ton of them in the grass at my son's elementary school this morning.

I think they are the pelecinid wasps, very prevalent in Delaware in the Fall. I've not seen them around our place yet, but have for a number of years. They fly close to the ground and seem to come in swarms.
