Mantis parasitic wasp
This tiny wasp lays its eggs in the egg case (ootheca) of the Mantis. It has metallic blue/green head and thorax. The abdomen is brown. The rear legs are strong and toothed and used to clasp onto the wings of a female mantis. The wasp is transported around by the mantis until the mantis makes her egg case. The wasp can then deposit her eggs into the fresh frothy mantis ootheca before it hardens.
