Blue-eye hatchet wasp
2

The first one I ever saw was in March 2017.

It is a Blue-eyed Hatchet wasp - Evania appendigaster. Family Evaniidae. They are parasitic on cockroach oothecae.

My wife found this one on the front wall of our house.

It moves it's tail up and down as it walks like a hatchet.
