Today's wasp of the day is Sclerogibba vagabunda!
Credits
Sometimes a parasitoid superficially resembles its host without even being related. Wasps of the family Sclerogibbidae bank their entire existence on being parasitoids of the nymphs of insects in the order Embioptera, also known as webspinners. Like webspinners, these wasps are long and flexible with chunky front limbs and the females are wingless.

Chinese giant salamander (娃娃鱼) a.k.a ‘baby fish’ due to the sound they make that sounds like a baby crying.
The Chinese giant salamander is one of the largest salamanders and one of the largest amphibians in the world. It is fully aquatic and is endemic to rocky mountain streams and lakes in the Yangtze river basin of central China.
The Chinese giant salamander is considered to be a "living fossil". Although protected under Chinese laws, its population has faced severe declined over the last 70 years and is currently (2022) listed as threatened. There are evidence indicating that the Chinese giant salamander may be composed of at least five cryptic species, further compounding each individual species' endangerment.
Here is a video of a 200-year-old Chinese giant salamander that was found in a cave.

MYSTERY CATERPILLAR OF THE AMAZON!
family Sphingidae, Manu Biological Station, Peru
Apparently, for years, the identity of this caterpillar has been a mystery. We may be very close to solving the mystery!
People have seen this large gorgeous caterpillar for ages, but have never been able to figure out what it grows/metamorphoses into... what species is it?
Entomologist Gwen Erdosh (Gwentomologist), currently the Volunteer Coordinator at the Manu Biological Station in Madre de Dios, Peru, has collected one, determined its host plant, and got it to pupate!
Luckily, I got to meet the larva before it pupated, and snap a few photos.
Hopefully, we will know soon, and the mystery will be solved!

THE MYSTERY HAS BEEN SOLVED!!!
The mystery caterpillar of the Amazon has been identified!
Gwen Erdosh has successfully raised the caterpillar, and it has fully metamorphosed.
We knew that it was a Sphinx Moth, family Sphingidae, but no on seemed to know what species it was.
This gorgeous caterpillar is the larva of Manduca neglecta!

Have a look at some of the ID process on Inaturalist.
Watch Gwen's videos/posts about this on Instagram (1), (2) Instagram, and (2) Instagram.
