Gem on Finger - _TNY_2269
This emerald wasp (Chrysis sp.) on my finger is a rare treat. They are very rarely still so even if you find one, getting in close enough to take a sharp photo is a whole different bag of difficult.
Here I had some help from the greenhouse windows. This one had gotten stuck inside them and was a bit tired so offering it a wet finger to sit on and have a drink while I took it outside (while obviously photographing it) seemed agreeable.
There are several similar species to choose from, so this can't be narrowed down further than Chrysis sp.
