Scoliid Wasp (Campsomerinae)
It was a bit cloudy on that day, I contemplated if I would even go out with smartphone camera. So I made a split decision to go out and take a look around. Just a few minutes being outside, I noticed this wasp calm on green leaf. This wasp belongs to Scoliidae family that composed of fairly large, stout-bodied wasps, often brightly patterned in shades of red and yellow, white, or one of these colors in combination with black. These wasps are parasitoids of soil-inhabiting scarab beetle larvae. In a certain situation, this wasp is usually a non-aggressive stinging insect so we don't have to worry about the sting. It stays under the genus of wasps belonging to the family Scoliidae. Yellow hairy flower wasp with wing color that changes according to its angle with the sunlight. The head and antennas are black. Like other wasps, this wasp is semi-social, existing in small colonies but without a true worker caste.

Its structure is as strange as it is a bit scary, and its body is quite well seen through your microphotography.
Very beautiful insect photography
