Hi Alex, First impressions, I would have thought it was a green bottle fly, which we see (UK) so many of them around manure, rotting garbage, and other breaking down materials. I remember on holiday in Tenerife, a black wasp of 1.5 inch and it took about 4 months to identify it. Great picture.
Beautiful I had saved a dead one I found in perfect condition to fond out how to preserve it. Its coloring was beautiful. I saved it at my desk and work & some a..hole threw it away.
