Emerald paperwasp Ropalidia saussurei
(Suggested by @rorybluez! Style is a bit different from the tarantula hawk but I hope you like it nonetheless, thank you for bringing these awesome little creatures to my attention!)
I struggled with this beauty a bit but I love her. Why is she so green.
Social species like this are what most people think of when they hear "wasp", but only a small handful of (sub)families actually share this lifestyle! By far most wasps, from the tiny fairyflies to the famous tarantula hawk, live as solitary parasitoids.

You can look them up or go by vibes :D If you suggest something else and it doesn’t win, I’ll add it to my list for the future!
