Allochares azureus: Parasitoid Wasp That Specializes on Kukulcania hibernalis

Allochares azureus, a parasitoid wasp that specializes on Kukulcania hibernalis.
Is that a velvety texture on its exoskeleton? What an impressive creature.
 
@Dovey It does look that way in the photo. I removed the cocoon from the web and let it hatch in a jar to see what it would turn out to be.
