Half and Half, Pt. 4 - _TNY_0202
Yet another of the equally unidentifiable and beautiful cuckoo wasps in the Chrysis ignita complex. I mean, we can tell it is one in the complex - but there are several species which look so alike that you have to physically pick them apart to tell which it is - not my thing at all.
This one is a female and I found her stuck inside the windows of the green house which I moved to the (glass) door where it immediately moved to the door frame and stayed still enough for me to snap a couple of shots.
