brightly colored Chrysis cuckoo wasp

These wasps are **tiny** and extremely active... they would land for a moment before zooming back off. I wasn't even sure I'd even managed a focused photo until I got home and was able to view the images on my laptop. I can only think unless they are docile when cold, that the stacked images you can find must be dead samples..

Pulling from a list of cuckoo wasps present in Basilicata, (here - https://www.chrysis.net/database-of-the-european-chrysididae-species-of/?regione=BAS ) Chrysis coeruleiventris is the only one with the distinctive blue/cyan band

This and the last 3 photos were all taken on the surface of an ancient limestone column that was originally part of a Greek Temple.. these days it's quite the habitat. Multiple species of bees and wasps were using it's cavities as well as numerous spiders, lizards, geckos and even a small snake (that disappeared into a hole before I could even raise my camera..)
