Found crawling around on Helianthus anuus leaves. I wish I got a better pic but it was tough since it was so small and moving around a lot. If anyone knows species, please let me know. Location was eastern Nebraska
Gorgeous! It reminds me of those heavy metallic flake paintjobs popular with hot rods and show cars.
sees name
"cuckoo wasp"???
