I almost passed over this strange little braconid roaming deep under a patch of swampy grass. Fortunately I did not! This is the 3rd "ball-winged" wasp I've found; the 1st two were Hoplitalysia slossonae, this one... is clearly different.

No proper bug walks the past 2 days ( -2 mental health damage), but at least if there's a bit of daylight I have a chance at finding a Baeus wasp in my yard. +3 mental health boost. ๐ค
