Thanks, @venusflytrap2000 :)
I was very happy to see this one and then excited to see that she was brooding her eggs.
However, I only realised there was a Parasitoid Wasp when I reviewed the picture and realised I didn't had good pictures with the focus on that :(
This is nothing short of incredible!
Thanks, @Antonio for your all kind words and support :)
