“I found this dead bug inside my window when I opened it up today. The picture is horrible quality, but I hope that you can see important details? Because I’d love to know what bug this is, even though it looks like it’d be scary if it were alive.

It’s that metallic type of shiny color you’d see on a blow fly except this is more of a metallic teal/green mixture? I really don’t know how to describe it. And it obviously has wings and what looks like a stinger the size of a needle point

I’m completely terrified of most bugs but that’s mostly because I don’t know much about any of them! Your blog has made me realize that not all bugs are as bad as they seem. xD And btw, I loooove your blog!

Hi!  Thank you!  I’m glad learning about bugs made you like them :)  I’m pretty sure this is a Cuckoo Wasp, and in my opinion one of the prettiest animals on Earth.  Cuckoo wasps are parasitoids of other insects so she rather jam her stinger into prey for her babies than in you.  Here is what wiki had to say about the family:

Members of the largest subfamily, Chrysidinae, are the most familiar; they are generally cleptoparasites, laying their eggs in host nests, where their larvae consume the host egg or larva while it is still young, then consuming the provisions. Chrysidines are distinguished from the members of other subfamilies in that most can curl into a defensive ball, in a process known as conglobation. This ability is shared with pill bugs, pill millipedes (which are often mistaken for pill bugs), and armadilloes. Members of the other subfamilies are parasitoids, of either sawflies or walking sticks, and cannot fold up into a ball.
