What kind of wasp is it? In the photo you can’t see the front end but it is a beautiful emerald green. Thanks! LikeLike
It looks like a sweat bee (Agapostemon) to me! Every photo that came up on google looked just like this one. Hate being near them, but love getting the chance to see them up close and personal through great photography. 🙂 Nice shot! LikeLike
Hi Marcia, I keep them at arms length myself but here in Florida I am more afraid of the mosquitos. Thanks for stopping by LikeLike

Probably a common yellow jacket or a paper wasp. Where did you take the photo?
