Field Notes

Description:

Turquoise green insect.

Habitat:

Flitting and crawling on the leaves of white loosestrife flowers in my backyard.

Notes:

Thanks KristalWatrous for ID and informative link! Silly me, I had no idea this was a wasp! Good thing for me it can't sting - as I was all over it trying to get pictures!
