Hello guys, I was just finding some insects while I came across this little fella, I'm quite curious about the name of this creature. Maybe any of you have an idea, thanks!

Lovely shot. I would imagine it may be a jewel wasp.

Nice find! The tail end looks red so I agree with ruby tail wasp. It is a type of cuckoo wasp.
