Chrysididae (family)
Body metallic blue-green, small reddish part at the end. Coarse sculpturing (many pits on the surface).
I found this little fella lying on the stairs. Not been able to ID it down to species yet :/
Gorgeous! My best guess is some kind of cuckoo wasp... the only cuckoo wasp that I actually know by name is the ruby-tailed wasp, but this doesn't enough red in the abdomen to be one. So some other kind I would bet!
