Yes, definitely an ensign wasp. Love these wasps, wish I could breed them, although I think they do alright in my house with all the roaches here.

I have had a couple of geckos fall on me - now that is an experience that gets the heart pumping!

Definitely similar or same! Wonderful. Evaniidae not Ichneumonidae then Viv. So sorry it's not a gecko hunter - I know how everyone loves geckos in south east Asia.. especially when they make that splat noise when falling from a height. 8-]

For me, on looking at its blue eyes, long legs and interior house wall habitat, it probably seems like Ensign Wasp, looks very similar to this spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/120... , although I am not very sure. If that is the case then it is a cockroach hunter :)

Brilliant looking wasp Viv. I wonder what it does. Spider hunter maybe.
