"In some species, the size of the body and color intensity can be used as an index of the amount of toxin of an individual wasp. Individuals with high color intensity and large body produce more toxin (used as defense against predatory vertebrates like wolves, cats, and birds)."
I saw a much larger one later, a little over twice the size. Nigher, that doesn't look all the beneficial to me.

That's a leaf
Any idea what this is?
It's a little over 1" from wingtip covering to wingtip covering if that's what those are, around 1/2" long, photographed late September if the date was correct, in Western Washington. Most of the photos are a little washed out, coloring was probably slightly darker than the photo above the text.
I've lived here forever and seen like three of these total, mistook this one for a pine needle at first glance, that's probably why.
