A wasp with bright metallic green head and thorax and stunning metallic red abdomen stood on a horizontal wooden fence.
Quite often, when I encounter exciting things like this Ruby-tailed Wasp, I forget how to work my camera in a panic. Fortunately, this one stuck around long enough to regain my composure!
What a beautiful thing it is 🐝 ❤️

Beautiful metalic green cuckoo wasp.
This beautiful being is a chrysis a very large genus of cuckoo wasps. I appreciate the metallic colouring though. I think is is wonderful that such colours occur naturally.

Can a wasp wear jewels?
Steve Fanouillet proves it’s possible. This macro captures a cuckoo wasp in all its iridescent brilliance—nature’s tiniest armour, painted in metallic fire. Awesome shot! 👏❤️

Here's a Ruby-tailed Wasp that was hanging around the solitary bee nesting facility. I guess it's probably Chrysis ignita, but no doubt someone will correct me if not.

An Australian cuckoo wasp, Primeuchroeus sp. Like it's avian namesake, cuckoo wasps lay their eggs in the nests of unrelated host species.

Almost ignored this cuckoo was because I thought it was an ant.

Cuckoo wasp, Chrysididae. I can still remember the first time I saw a cuckoo wasp. At that time I had nothing to do with insects and was completely clueless. “Wow, two-colored flies,” I said.

Tiny, constantly on the move and really really difficult to photograph, this Ruby-tailed Wasp gave me the run around on a hogweed flower head for ages! I almost got it in focus! 📸 @RoyEntSoc @Buzz_dont_tweet @insectweek #CuckooWasp

This sparkly creature is a chrysis angolensis which is a type of cuckoo wasp. Don’t worry, it does not sting you. It is a pollinator that uses deception to have other solitary wasps raise its young. Who knew a wasp could be so beautiful? #wasp #chrysisangolensis #cuckoowasp
