Hi, I was wondering if you could help me identify this insect I found inside my home, flying near a window. The end of its abdomen was wiggling around quite a bit and was even folded back a few times. I’ve attached a few photos I took with my phone.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Kevin,
This is an Ensign Wasp, and you should probably welcome it into your house as they lay their eggs in the oothica or eggcases of Cockroaches. The larval wasps then feed on the developing Cockroaches.
