Beetle? Wasp? It was flying around the mistletoes. There were probably more than I counted.

Wow. Thanks Kim. I did question myself when I saw it whether it was a wasp or a beetle, but it was so colourful I went with beetle. The triangle shape at the rear and the side on view does look more like a wasp. I will try wasp and see what happens!
