Blue-green Cricket Hunter Wasp? Laudholm Farms, Wells ME<\/p><\/div>\n

I believe this amazing creature, only a little over\u00a0a half inch long, might be\u00a0a Blue-green Cricket Hunter Wasp. It could also be a Blue-green Mud Wasp. I have not been able to find any images via a Google search that have the white spot between the wings or the white section in the particularly long antenna. If it is not one of the species mentioned above, it is certainly a close relative. I found it while photographing Bittersweet at the Wells National Estuarine Research Center at Laudholm Farms a few days ago. This is a collage of three shots.<\/p>\n
