Nature amazed me again, I found a small sparkling surprise sitting sweetly on a euphorbia flower. It was a Zimmermann's mud wasp which in Latin is known as Chalybion zimmermanni, one of the beautiful insects from the Sphecidae family. I found the wasp when the sun was starting to shine, when the sun shone brightly highlighting its body, its body color became even more sparkling. The wasp was metallic green.
At first I saw the wasp just sitting sweetly on the flower. Strangely after I got closer to him. He who initially just stayed still, suddenly he moved exploring each flower very agilely. He kept moving from one flower to the next without a break, his behavior was like a worker being supervised by his boss. His movements were so agile, as if he did it on purpose to entertain me. But that made it difficult for me to photograph him.
