I've been mentioning this #wasp for ages finally got photos edited. I said green + red, but it's also blue + gold!
As crazy as this looks, I learned there are other species with even brighter / wilder markings! Still, I'm thrilled to have seen this, even more so that it hung around long enough and still enough that I could get lots of photos
