I found this stunning wasp while I was walking my dog, and couldn't resist the opportunity to examine it closer (It was already dead when I found it)
I really love this species, 1st it's stunning, 2nd it kills Cockroaches!

Wonderful job on the stack. The first time I ever saw one live, it became one of my favorite wasp.

Excellent shots.

Thanks for sharing your setup.

Now if I can only import those suckers into the Bahamas to go after our roaches, all would be well in the world.

Oh if it wasn't clear... I don't like roaches. ;)
