In my area this insect is often called the flag wasp, this wasp is clearly different from wasps in general, it is not at all dangerous to humans because it cannot sting, this wasp has uniqueness ranging from color to shape, it has slender wings and stomach but has a stomach with a very small size and that is one of the differences with other wasps, its size is relatively small and often spends its time in the bushes or in hidden places. I myself managed to find this wasp in my house precisely at night, at first he kept flying around my house and in the end he landed on the wall of the house, he did not fly at all when I wanted to take a picture of him, and after taking a picture of him I immediately took the initiative to take him out so he could get out and be free in the wild again, even though this wasp is not dangerous but I still do not dare to hold it directly.

Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this flag wasp here.

Looks more like a house fly with long legs as I am watching it on my phone with bedside mode on ( screen turns black and white)
