This is (I believe) a Samurai Wasp. The barrels are stink bug eggs. The is technically a parasite because it lays its eggs inside the egg containers of the stink bugs and the larvae will consume the stink bug larvae. The samurai wasp will stay with her babies until they hatch to ensure that the job is done. What a good mother! 🥰

@FlashF1R3 This is interesting, and a beautiful picture. Wow.
@[email protected] Thank you. I love the emerald green color of the leaf.
😱 What an epic macro!! The leaf structure is amazing. (Also, ewww, but also WOW!)
@meoralis Thank you. It was in my backyard (along with 99% of the macros I take) It is definitely an “Ew. wow!” Moment 🤣
So cool, so beautiful. Thanks for the info as well!
@LauraScrimshaw Thank you and you’re welcome. Curiosity gets the better of me when I see something new.
stunning capture

@FlashF1R3 Fascist: "Why can't we kill other babies for the sake of our own babies and be called a 'good mother' too? I mean, it's what nature does."

BTW, great shot you did there.

@[email protected] Thank you. And yeah in nature it’s all about survival.
