I thought before they were some kind of beetle, so I dare to play with them. Apparently my guess was wrong, he was a group of wasps with the scientific term cuckoo wasps.
Commonly known as cuckoo wasps or emerald wasps, the hymenopteran family Chrysididae is a very large cosmopolitan group (over 3000 described species) of parasitoid or kleptoparasitic wasps, often highly sculptured, with brilliant metallic colors created by structural coloration. They are most diverse in desert regions of the world, as they are typically associated with solitary bee and wasp species, which are also most diverse in such areas. Their brood parasitic lifestyle has led to the evolution of fascinating adaptations, including chemical mimicry of host odours by some species.
I discovered this wasp a few days ago, and today I share it here. Hope you are interested and like it.
And below I also share Neoitamus is a genus of robber flies in the Asilidae family. There are at least 60 species described in Neoitamus.
