This picture was taken during my last trip to Brazil. My parents have a "Jaboticaba" tree at home, which is a type of berry with black peel and white flesh. Jaboticaba fruits grow in the tree trunk. This wasp, which I'm mostly sure is from the Synoeca genus and belongs to the Epiponini subfamily. Her popular name is Warrior Wasp and she has a beautiful metallic sheen! Gorgeous!
