The Emerald Wasp
The Emerald Wasp
This is the umpteenth time I have encountered a green metallic wasp and it is one of the most difficult insects to find. So not every time you can find it because this is a rare insect. I think this wasp is one of the most difficult insects to photograph because it has wild movements, and after a long time of waiting I managed to get some good angles.
There are many types of wasps in this world and they have their own uniqueness. One of them is the cuckoo wasp which has a unique and beautiful appearance. Some people call this insect the emerald wasp or the ruby tail wasp because of its attractive and shiny color. Most of these species have a metallic green, blue, or purple color.

Wasps are a type of insect that is very beneficial for the environment because it can help pollinate plants and is very beneficial for ecosystem sustainability.
As reliable predators, the existence of wasps is very important in human life. Wasps have an ecological role in eradicating various annoying pests. You can imagine if there were no wasps in the world to eradicate various pests, then automatically the number of pests that disturb crops would increase rapidly and damage farmers' crops. Hopefully useful and thanks for visiting my blog.
