Red-headed Black Braconid Wasp
Size about 5mm. This individual was sitting on our coffee bush. It was very windy and the animal rested for quite a long time. I came back three times to photograph and each time it was on the same leaf. It turned and moved when photographed but stayed. It has a totally black/dark body with an orange/red head, with big black, lateral eyes. The antennae are very long. The ovipostor seems to come from far under the abdomen and is bent upwards.
