Have been spotting these tiny wasp like beauties, roughly 3-5mm long, sleeping on the garden plants in the late evenings. These tiny beauties sleep with the tip of the leaf tightly grasped by its jaws and suspending its whole body in the air, an interesting posture for a rather relaxing sleep. The micro size of these wasps make it look like some dried tips of the leaf, from a distant, and only on close observation one can identify the cantilevered posture of the beauties.

Interesting behavior :). Good observation. I think there are some highlights due to the flash. Was there a slight movement? Maybe a higher shutter speed would have helped to get more details. Thanks for sharing.
