Another #wasp on the #Aralia in the #garden I've only had a couple of brief poor views of similar in the past, so I was excited to see this one! At first I just got a couple of distant snaps and it was gone! I spent more than half an hour traipsing around the acreage to all of the flowering plants, finally found it again on another Aralia plant. Not great/close shots, but I was still stoked! Waiting for id on #iNat (maybe) #insects #Alberta #inverts #nature #Canada

@dillyd never heard of Itchy and Scratchy..lol
I watched various Jim Jarmusch movies back then, not sure about that one...

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
