Here's a wasp tip for you: if it's shaped like absolute nonsense, there's a good chance it's a chalcid wasp.

You can find this.... creature wherever you can also find its host: the arboreal weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina. Weaver ants are aggressively territorial and can, if left unchecked, take over entire trees with their complex nests. And its this nocturnal lump's job to do those checks.
