Chrysididae Spp.
1/3 inch long flying insect with large, rounded eyes. Wings are black, and body is metallic blue-green. Most of the body is covered in tiny pits and there are a decent number of small hairs, especially on the abdomen and thorax. Legs and antennae are mostly black, with slight metallic sheen most prominent on back most legs.
Was found trapped inside my kitchen window at the edge of a 5-acre property with a large field and some woodlands near Elgin, TX.
Picture was taken after it was escorted out of the house with paper and a cup, it flew away shortly after. :) Help pinpointing the exact species is much appreciated!
