Chrysis sp.
This is a horrible shot, but this wasp is just too cool looking. I've been seeing a lot more of them lately, so maybe I can get something much closer.
They're cleptoparasitic. They tend to look for nests of other wasps and then lay their eggs in them. That appears to be what this one is doing.
