This is a male blue-eyed ensign wasp. Don’t worry, he was perfectly fine, I wasn’t hurting him. He flew away just fine after this, I would never hold an animal like this if it would hurt the poor thing.

This is a male blue-eyed ensign wasp. Don’t worry, he was perfectly fine, I wasn’t hurting him. He flew away just fine after this, I would never hold an animal like this if it would hurt the poor thing.
So I’ve been seeing these weird scary-looking bugs in my apartment, which of course I’ve been killing on sight. I had seen them at work before, and never knew what they were, but now that I’m seeing them in my apartment, I decided to try to figure out what they were. Thank god for Google.
APPARENTLY, they are these things call ensign wasps, and they are a parasitic species of wasp that lay their eggs in cockroach casings and are completely unharmful to humans. So now I regret every one I’ve killed and I will never kill one again. Even though my newfound roach problem doesn’t seem too bad, every bit helps. I have a new product being delivered on Thursday that should help out, and hopefully these wasps will do their part too.
I am unhappy with the fact that I am now living with roaches, but part of me is also a little fascinated with this tiny bug ecosystem I have going on in my living space. But mostly I hate cockroaches and the faster they all die the happier I’m gonna be.
