Die Gemeine Goldwespe (Chrysis ignita) sieht aus, als käme sie direkt von einem anderen Planeten, ein Mini-Alienscout im Garten.

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

Five second video of a parasitic cuckoo wasp at one of my insect hotels. I love how their antennae are always in motion. And their huge eyes. And their metallic color. But huge pain to ID. #InsectHotel #BeeHotel #CuckooWasp #chrysididae #insects #bees #wasps

inktober day 7: cuckoo wasp

#inktober #dragon #digitalart #cuckoowasp

Cuckoo wasps are most commonly metallic green, so it was exciting to see a blue one the other day. Being both metallic and not stopping for long in one spot also makes them very difficult to photograph.
