It's a tiny, sparkling green wasp found in Khon Kaen, 13.xii.14. It has been IDd by Joe Hartman as a Cuckoo Wasp of the family Chrysididae (Gold wasps/Emerald wasps). According to Joe, they lay their
eggs in nests of unrelated species. Probably where they get their vernacular name.
Many, many thanks, Joe, for the ID!
(Pssst ... I thought this was a bee hehe)
Sorry to disturb the bee dream, but it's a wasp, more precisely a Cuckoo wasp of the family Chrysididae (Gold wasps/Emerald wasps). They lay their eggs in nests of unrelated species.
