Zelurus sp
Large Assassin bug, of around 2.5cm body length. I'm not sure about the common name and what wasps it mimics, but my guess would be Pepsis sp. Colour is uniformly glossy black with a blue sheen and a yellow section of antennae. It sports 1 prominent sharp spine at the end of thorax and a smaller one behind the head. Very good flyer.
Found at night in dense rainforest in the Ecuadorian Amazon region around Tena.
