I was curious to see what a moth wasp was before opening this thread. It is indeed a pretty insect. I would have taken pictures of it as well. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool... so it's a mimic and has evolved those colors for protection from preadators. Pretty neat. I think I've seen them before not realizing it was a moth. Nice capture!
