Cuckoo wasp (Chrysis sp.)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Barry photographed this gorgeous little wasp checking out one of the bee boxes. I've noticed quite a few of these colourful wasps at the garden this year but never succeeded in getting such a clean shot as this. They are parasitic on leafcutter bees (Megachilidae) as well as on bees and wasps in several other families.
