Hello Ben!
Welcome back to PDML! It's been a while since you last chimed in in
October.
Thank you, Ben and Alastair for the ultimate answer.
Yep, the picture in Wikipedia looks almost identical to mine.
I haven't seen cockroaches around for a while, but just last week I've

Hi Igor (and PDML),
This is an Ensign Wasp (Family: Evaniidae), probably in the genus Evania
- ID confirmed by my Hymenopterist colleague at the Natural History Museum.

All the best,

Dan and Mark,
Thank you for your responses.
I knew that PDML has that collective intellect!

I was trying to photograph this visitor, but it was tricky for a
combination of reasons, and after a few attempts (64 trigger actuations),

is. So, I choose to "Ask the Audience".
