Emerald Cuckoo Wasp

Thank you, Tiz and kdpicturemaker.
It was not my picture that was good it was the wasp that was very photogenic!!

Beautiful clear Cuckoo Wasp image. Well done.

What a beautiful and crisp photo! Thse are so small! Super impressed!

Thank you so much, for the Link, LivanEscudero.
So my spotting is a Female and maybe was laying eggs?!

Yes that "tail" is the ovipositor which normally is retracted inside the abdomen. Here is a picture showing it on an other Cuckoo wasp.

Very much alive , it took off as soon as I let it out.

Was this one dead or dying?

So beautiful Gilma! These are usually so hard to photograph outside. I think Cuckoo Wasp also, if you look at pictures of them, many often have their ovipositors-stingers extruded and that might be the case here.

Thank you so much for the ID, venusflytrap2000. Happy you like the spotting, it has such an spectacular sheen!!

that is a very good point, i neglected that. i'd still go with cuckoo wasp, but dunno about the tail. Mutation? ;)

I am pretty sure it is a Cuckoo Wasp, the only thing is that most of the pictures I saw, none has the tail like my spotting?

welcome as always gilma ;) by the way it's a very neat spotting, i like it!

Meisterheim Family, It came inside my home and it was in a teak log.

Thank you, venusflytrap2000. I will give that a try.

What is it on?

cuckoo wasp i think...
