It was almost evening when I found this guy alone, and he was perched on a leaf. Prionyx parkeri, commonly called the thread-waisted wasp, is a species of mud wasp belonging to the Sphecidae. That says a little about this guy.
I love the white hair that covers his face and neck; that's cool. The abdomen was yellow like magma, and it had a thread-thin black base. But the most charming of all were his black and bulging compound eyes.
Look at his gaze; it's really warm and friendly. Of course, we are friends with insects. The proof is that he held more of my shots.
All of the images here are my work, taken with a Xiaomi POCO NFC smartphone and an assembled external macro lens.
