Today we saw this metallic turquoise blue flying insect in the garden. After looking on the web I think it is a cuckoo wasp
There is not much on the internet that I could find on it but it seems like it is not a good thing to have because depending on the type of cuckoo wasp it could be parasitic to mason bees
Here are the pictures I could get of it. They are not the best because it wasn't very cooperative in the photo shoot
Has anyone ever seen this bug?? Is it as bad as I think it is?? Thanks!
