A female Jewel wasp with bright red "sleeves".

Familiar Fridays - Jewel Wasp.
The cockroach’s bane and probably the only thing humans hate more than cockroaches. Or at least…I certainly do.

Last year we were fortunate enough to see three jewel wasps which, although very busy, did stop long enough for a few pics.

Pseudomalus auratus
Trichrysis cyanea
Hedychridium roseum

Walking up the coast path from Cromer, we spotted this little jewel wasp. Hedychridium roseum, with its distinguishing feature of a not so shiny abdomen.

Our bejewelled garden. Two little gems from yesterday. Trichrysis cyanea we think, and an equally small Ruby-tailed Wasp.
