I m alway's interested in any kind of flying or crawly thing, if its something I hav'nt seen before, I wonder if I found something that maybe rare, but I'm sure there will be a lot of experts on here that will have seen this little flying thing, it caught my eye as it has a green top and a pink bottom, posting pic to see if anyone knows what it is.

Evening Pauline,

It's one of the Jewel Wasps. Real beauties, but rarely identifiable to species from photographs.

Take care,

Jason

That was quick, I googled it, and I found one just like mine, it seemed to like the screw head and kept flying onto it, I ran for my camera thinking it would be gone , but it kept returning to the screw head, I can see why its called a Jewel Wasp, it was bright and shiny, lovely colours. Thanks. Pauline.
