This was crawling up the wall in my office this afternoon… It looked like something out of a scifi movie… and then it started flying around. CREEPY!!!
Found out what this is… it’s an emerald cockroach wasp. The wasp was introduced in Hawaii in 1941 as a form of biocontrol. As you can guess, it was an unsuccessful attempt. Personally, I think I’d rather have the roaches than the wasp!
