Ensign Wasp

Found worldwide in urban and suburban areas, particularly inside buildings where cockroaches are prevalent

Adults feed on nectar and honeydew; larvae are parasitoids that exclusively eat cockroach eggs within oothecae

Notable for their unique flag-like abdomen that constantly jerks up and down while walking; they are active during the day searching for cockroach egg cases

Completely harmless to humans and pets as they cannot sting or bite; beneficial to the ecosystem and homeowners as they act as a natural pest control for cockroach populations
