Chrysididae

This little cuckoo wasp or Chrysididae on my knee was photographed during the 1st annual Gooseberry Collective weekend.  All I knew at the time was that this little wasp was unbelievably green and he showed up quite nice on the beige trousers.  Yesterday, one of my online friends, Tammy (@IamBmeTammy) let me know the species which saved me some amount of effort looking it up.  Unfortunately, this was the only shot that could be made as the camera lens moving closer spooked him and he flew off.
